Asian Figural Bronze Table Lamp of a Lying Buddha with Green Shade Myanmar 1920s
Located in Salzburg, AT
This early 20th-century Mandalay-style reclining monk, made of patinated bronze, has been transformed into a figurative table lamp.
The disciple has a peaceful face and a resting, elegant posture. His face is handsome, with a slight smile and a straight nose.
His robe lies in lush, wave-like folds on the surface of his body, reflecting the soft contours of the body beneath.
The robe is richly decorated and suggests embroidery in silver, gold, and pearls.
To match the object, the lamp structure was crafted in bronze and fitted with two sockets.
The rectangular, dark green shade completes the lamp.
Dimensons of sculpture on base: W 43 x D 12 x H 18cm

Mandalay Period: 1853 - 1948
Mandalay Buddha figure
Mandalay was considered the center of Buddhism in Burma. King Mindon moved the capital from Amarapura to this new place and named it the city of Mandalay. This place was chosen because of a prediction said to have been made by Gautama Buddha, stating that a major city, a Buddhist metropolis, would be built on this spot, on the 2400th anniversary of Buddhism.
The political center of this new city has a perfect geometric shape of a Buddhist mandala, due to which the city was named Mandalay. The Mandalay period ended when the Burmese gained their independence from the British.

The Mandalay Buddha is generally considered to be the Burmese interpretation of Buddhism. The Buddha figures...
