Myanmar (Burma)

Shan Style

Bronze Figure of Buddha

18^th Century

Height: 26 cm


Seated in virasana on a stepped base, his right hand lowered in bhumisparshamudra – the gesture “ for the earth to witness”, the left resting on his lab, wearing samghati, his face with serene expression, arched eyebrows above slit eyes, aquiline nose, smiling lips, elongated earlobes, curled hairdress and usnisha.  Fine details.  A classic and rare piece.
