Ca. 19th century Burmese Mandalay style Buddha. The Buddha is seated with the right hand palm facing out in a gesture that is said to bring fortune and good luck.The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow, reinforcing the impression of serenity and spirituality. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. As is traditional with later Mandalay pieces his robes are elaborate, with the folds of the robes cascading down his torso. The head is surmounted by a domed 'Ushnisha', rising to a stylized lotus bud finial. This 'Kecil' (pinnacle) is carved from teak wood.Provenance: Ex- private UK Collection.Please contact us for high resolution images of the piece.
