About the Item
These carved teak figures from 19th-century Burma represent Monastic Attendants or Guardian Angels, traditional figures often found in religious and ceremonial settings. Carved from a single piece of wood, these two statues showcase detailed carvings of draped robes and intricate facial expressions, which add to their profound spiritual presence. They stand in a graceful pose with hands clasped together in prayer, a posture symbolic of reverence and devotion.
The figures exhibit signs of age, with the natural wear and surface cracks adding character to their already expressive form. The aging and patina on the wood give these statues a deep, historical authenticity. Their symbolic nature, combined with their rustic beauty, makes them an excellent representation of the Buddhist religious culture. These figures are said to have originally guarded sacred spaces or served as guardians for religious shrines.
While these statues display natural imperfections, such as wood splitting and slight losses to the original pigment, they remain in good condition considering their age and original use. The visible wear on their surface only enhances their historical charm, offering a glimpse into the culture and craftsmanship of 19th-century Burmese artisans. 82h x 13w x 13d
