Gilded lacquered wood sculpture depicting Buddha Burma
About the Item
In the heart of a tranquil sanctuary, there resides a sublime masterpiece, a statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, a figure that radiates serenity and enlightenment. As you approach this divine sculpture, you can't help but be captivated by its profound beauty and spiritual presence del XIX secolo.
Seated in vajrasana, an aura of majesty surrounds the Buddha, as he rests upon a lotus, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, placed delicately on a meticulously molded pedestal. The craftsmanship of the pedestal itself is a testament to the devotion of its creator, each intricate detail carved with utmost precision.
Buddha's right hand, in the bhumisparshamudra, is extended towards the earth, a gesture that signifies the moment of his awakening. The left hand, tenderly resting upon his lap, exudes a sense of tranquility and inner peace. The statue is adorned in samghati, an intricate robe that drapes gracefully over his form, an emblem of his ascetic life.
But it is his countenance that truly captivates the beholder. Buddha's face is a canvas of serene expression, the arch of his eyebrows delicately framing mother-of-pearl inlaid eyes, which seem to hold the wisdom of the ages. An aquiline nose and gently curved, smiling lips convey a sense of benevolence and compassion that transcends time and space.
Buddha's earlobes, elongated from a lifetime of wearing heavy jewelry as a prince, bear testimony to his humble beginnings. His hair, meticulously curled, cascades in elegant waves over his shoulders, and atop his head rests the usnisha, symbolizing his elevated spiritual wisdom.
As your gaze lingers on this statue, you can't help but notice the remnants of gold lacquer that once covered it, adding a touch of opulence and luminosity to this divine representation. The golden hues, now gently faded by time, still evoke a sense of sacred grandeur, as if the very essence of enlightenment is captured within those gilded remnants.
This Buddha, frozen in time and space, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of his teachings. The Bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing the moment of his enlightenment, invites you to contemplate the profound wisdom that he imparted to the world. In the presence of this exquisite statue, one cannot help but feel a profound sense of peace and a connection to the timeless journey of self-discovery and enlightenment that Buddha Shakyamuni embarked upon.
