Large wooden Buddha sculpture probably Laos, 19th-20th century

About the Item

In the heart of your sacred space, there resides a timeless masterpiece—a magnificent wooden Buddha sculpture that whispers secrets of the ages. Crafted with utmost devotion, this ethereal creation is believed to have its roots in the mystic lands of Burma, dating back to the 19th or perhaps even the early 20th century. As you gaze upon it, you'll find yourself transported through the corridors of history. This remarkable Buddha, a harmonious blend of two distinct eras, is a testament to the enduring spirit of artistry. Its features evoke echoes of a bygone era, the Pagan period, a time when devotion was expressed through the chisel and the keen eye of a master sculptor. The small, delicate mouth seems to whisper ancient wisdom, while the wide forehead exudes an aura of profound contemplation. The narrow waist and the gently rounded shoulders and chest reveal the artistry's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of a bygone Burmese sculptural style. Seated in the full lotus position, the Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility that permeates every inch of your room. His right hand gracefully rests upon his knee, cradling a precious myrobalan fruit—a symbol of healing and rejuvenation. The left hand extends forward, as if offering solace and guidance to all who behold its majesty. As you bring this divine sculpture into your home, you're not just acquiring an exquisite piece of art; you're inviting a profound spiritual presence into your life. Its serene countenance exudes an aura of calm and serenity that will permeate every corner of your abode, bringing with it a deep sense of peace and harmony. In the presence of this transcendent masterpiece, you'll find yourself transported to a realm where time stands still, and the wisdom of the ages flows through every intricately carved detail. With every passing moment, you'll draw closer to the serenity that only a work of art of this caliber can bestow upon those fortunate enough to behold it.
