Burmese Carved Hardwood Crowned Buddha Seated in Western Pose, Mid 20th Century
Located in Austin, TX
A sublime Burmese carved, lacquered and gilt hardwood crowned Buddha seated in a "western pose", early to mid 20th century, Burma (Myanmar).
The elegant and graceful Buddha is portrayed wearing an elaborate six pointed crown with two large "wings" to the side, and a simple robe wrapped around the body and draped over one shoulder. He is seated upon a high stepped throne, his feet resting upon a double lotus pedestal.
The Buddha's face is serene. He stares out in the distance calmly, with eyes slightly downcast, and a slight smile on his face. His long, pendulous earlobes blend in with the wings of the elaborate crown upon his head. A lotus bud finial would originally have surmounted the head, but is now missing. He holds one hand in his lap, palm up in a meditative gesture. His other hand rests gently on his knee.
This pose, with the Buddha seated upon a raised throne, with both legs planted on the floor, is often referred to as a "western pose". The pose is most often associated with the Bodhisattva Maitreya...

Antique Sculpture wooden Buddha Mun from Thailand 19th century
Located in Milano, IT
In a corner of a serene temple, bathed in the soft golden light of dawn, stands a Buddha like no other. This exquisite embodiment of spiritual devotion comes from the heart of Thailand and southern Burma, testimony to centuries of unwavering faith and artistry. This is no ordinary Buddha: it is a Mon image, a timeless work of art that whispers stories of centuries past.
With wooden stand.
Cradled gently by the hands of time, this particular masterpiece emerged during the 17th century and its aura has evolved and matured over the years. The specimen in this photo of Denison, a treasure in its own right, bears the elegant imprints of the 19th century. Carved from the humble lap of wood, it exudes a sacred presence that transcends the boundaries of time and space.

Seated Virgin with Child (Sedes Sapientiae) from the 12th Century in Spain
Located in Madrid, ES
Technique: Tempera and oil on wood
Dimensions: 25 x 11 x 8 cm
Description:
This exceptional work from the 12th century represents the Seated Virgin with Child (Sedes Sapientiae), standing out as an artistic treasure from medieval Spain. The portrayal of the Virgin enthroned with the Child on her lap is emblematic of Romanesque art, and this particular piece is a valuable and authentic example of that era.
The current polychromy belongs to the Gothic period and overlays the original Romanesque layer. It is crucial to highlight that the current state of the artwork is the original, without any cleaning interventions, imparting a unique authenticity.
The work exhibits architectural characteristics typical of Romanesque art, evident in the sides of the throne. The rigidity and symmetry characteristic of this style are reflected in the firm presentation of the Baby Jesus, noticeable in his gesture while holding his son. The Virgin wears a crown, symbolizing her royal character as the Queen of Heaven and Creation. Both figures retain traces of polychromy on the face and attire, adding layers of history and authenticity.
While similar Romanesque Virgin...
