Object Details

Catalogue Note

Dimensions: H 35 × W 20 cm
Weight: 3.0 kg
Material: Bronze
Estimated period: ca. 1850–1880
Origin: Shan / northern Myanmar–Thailand borderlands
Subject: Seated Buddha
Mudra: Bhumisparsha Mudra

A substantial seated Shan Buddha with elongated features, pointed ushnisha and a deep chocolate-brown bronze patina.

Iconography

The Buddha sits in Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture associated with enlightenment.

Base and Condition

An old bronze base plate remains closed. Its contents have not been opened or independently verified, so no claim is made about surviving consecration material. The sculpture shows natural wear and oxidation consistent with prolonged age and handling. The ca. 1850–1880 dating remains an art-historical attribution.

Iconography and Context

Bhumisparsha Mudra is the earth-touching gesture associated with Shakyamuni calling the earth to witness his awakening.

Condition and Display

The bronze surface shows tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear. The 11 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
