Standing Buddha, carved in solid wood on a lotiform base, Burma (Myanmar), Mandalay period, 19th century.
The posture is natural, with a serene face and a slight smile. The eyes are made of glass, adding a very present and realistic dimension to the work.
The expression of this image of Buddha is particularly penetrating (see different views of the face).
The wood is lacquered and gilded, richly decorated with glassware, and the Enlightened One holds his monastic robe (uttarasanga) in his left hand. In his right hand, he holds the fruit of the myrobolan tree, an allusion to Buddha's healing powers.
His robe shows wear and tear (Stable), which is normal wear and tear. Period restoration on the lotus (see photo).
The hands are removable and not currently attached for ease of transport.
Although it stands upright, this antique Buddha statue should be fixed to a wall or pedestal.
Provenance: Estate of dealer and collector Claude de Marteau.
Sold with certificate of provenance.
H 186 cm x W 80 cm x D 26 cm
Estimated weight 80 kg
The Mandalay Buddha is generally regarded as the 19th-century Burmese interpretation of Buddhism. Buddha statues like this one are often depicted as youthful, with an open, benevolent facial expression. His vestments are richly decorated with flowers and scrolls in the thayo technique and inlaid with mirrored glass.
