Lacquered wood sculpture Buddha Shakyamuni Laos, Birmania

About the Item

In the midst of the 18th century, in the enchanting land of Burma during the Shan period, a magnificent masterpiece of spiritual artistry was born—an extraordinary Seated Burmese wooden crowned Buddha, often referred to as the "King Buddha." This sacred sculpture transcends the boundaries of ordinary representations, adorned with diadems and kingly ornaments, rather than the conventional monk's robes, embodying a unique symbol of regal divinity. As you gaze upon this resplendent Buddha, you are transported to a realm where spirituality and royalty converge. This crowned Buddha, with its majestic three-tiered crown, signifies not only the Buddha's enlightened wisdom but also his universal role as a benevolent ruler, a symbol of serene authority. It's as if the very essence of sovereignty and spiritual wisdom are intricately woven into the intricate carvings and serene countenance of this sacred figure. The passage of time has left its mark, with the lower section bearing the scars of age and wear. Yet, the colors endure, still vivid and bright, as if untouched by the hands of time itself. Amongst the shades of red and small strokes of gold, the artistry of the 18th-century Shan craftsmen emerges, a testament to their skill and reverence for the divine. This crowned Buddha, cradled upon a wooden pedestal, stands as a bridge between the earthly realm and the celestial heights. It is a tangible connection to a bygone era, a living testament to the spiritual devotion and artistic prowess of its creators. In the presence of this remarkable Buddha, you'll find yourself drawn into a sacred embrace of wisdom and sovereignty, a reminder of the eternal truths that transcend the ages. It is not merely a work of art; it is a beacon of divine grace, a treasure that whispers tales of a distant time and place, and a symbol of enlightenment that continues to shine brightly in the present moment.

Located in Chicago, IL
This carved stone stele depicts the historical Buddha, known also as Shaka, Shakyamuni, or Siddhartha Gautama. Seated in perpetual meditation, the Buddha embodies virtues of wisdom and composure.
