Object Details

Catalogue Note

Dimensions: H 57 × W 24.5 cm
Weight: 7.2 kg
Material: Carved hardwood with polychromy, lacquer and gilt traces
Estimated period: circa 1890–1910
Origin: Burma / Myanmar
Style: Mandalay / Shan
Subject: Seated Buddha
Mudra: Bhumisparsha Mudra
Base: Elephant-decorated support

A distinctive Burmese Buddha seated in Bhumisparsha Mudra above an unusual elephant-decorated base. The sculpture combines Mandalay and Shan stylistic elements with an old multi-layered surface of lacquer, pigment and gilding.

The elephant support is a particularly uncommon feature and gives the image a strong architectural character. The circa 1890–1910 dating remains an art-historical attribution; microscopic surface observations document the layered finish but are not treated as independent proof of date.

Condition

Antique condition with polychrome and gilt loss, shrinkage cracks, old repairs and natural wood ageing.
