The figure holds a small fruit-like attribute before the chest and has traditionally been interpreted as an Arhat associated with medicinal symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe underside preserves broad adze marks and substantial natural shrinkage. Old hand-forged iron staples bridge historic timber splits, with dark staining around the metal. Residues of gesso-like preparation, dark lacquer and isolated gilding survive in protected recesses. Together these details are consistent with long use and repeated maintenance of a large devotional wooden sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDating \u0026amp; Condition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe previous attribution places the work in the 18th to early 19th century. Without documented provenance or dendrochronology, we retain this as a working attribution rather than a forensic certainty. The figure is deliberately presented in its heavily weathered state, with cracks, losses, old structural repairs and surviving historic coatings visible throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buddha-Statues.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63361439400266,"sku":"689","price":6950.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1073\/1693\/7034\/files\/monumental-antique-burmese-arhat-carved-teak-151cm-catalogue-view-01.jpg?v=1787913282","url":"https:\/\/buddha-statues.com\/products\/monumental-antique-burmese-arhat-carved-teak-151cm","provider":"buddha-statues.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
