This special piece from Myanmar combines a warm gilded finish with traditional glass inlay and black lacquer accents. The result is a statue that is not only decoratively strong but also immediately brings a sense of peace and harmony to a room.\n\nThe Buddha sits in the classic Bhumisparsha mudra, with the right hand touching the earth. This posture symbolizes the moment of enlightenment and represents inner strength, stability, and overcoming obstacles. Consequently, this type of statue is often placed in living rooms, meditation rooms, practice rooms, or personal altars.\n\nWhat makes this statue special is its rich decoration. The robes feature inlaid mirror and glass ornaments applied by hand. Various green decorative elements are also present on the crown, sleeves, knees, and back. It is precisely this combination of gilding, black lacquer, and glass inlay that is characteristic of traditional Burmese house and temple statues.\n\nThe base displays a solid wooden construction with visible signs of age, natural shrinkage cracks, and remnants of old red lacquer layers. These types of details are appreciated by collectors because they provide insight into the traditional construction and finish of the sculpture.\n\nDue to its size, this is an ideal object for anyone looking for an authentic Asian accent with spiritual significance. The image brings warmth, character, and a calm appearance to both modern and classic interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e5d6a0; margin: 30px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #8a6d3b; font-size: 22px; font-weight: normal;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMyanmar (Burma)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMandalay style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSolid wood with lacquer, gilding and glass inlay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSeated Buddha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMudra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBhumisparsha (Earth-touching posture)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e24.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e18 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 0;\"\u003e800 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484357140811,"sku":"616","price":295.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/birmese-vergulde-boeddha-glasinleg-myanmar.jpg?v=1780296828"},{"product_id":"birmese-nat-geest-tempelwachter-myanmar","title":"Standing Burmese Nat-Spirit Deva – Mandalay Style Myanmar ca. 1930–1950","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;background:#ffffff;border:1px solid #d4af37;padding:30px;color:#222;line-height:1.8;max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a6d3b;margin-top:0;\"\u003eBurmese Nat Spirit Temple Guardian – Large Spiritual Protective Figure from Myanmar (86 cm)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice: €495\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Myanmar, Nat spirits have been revered for centuries as protectors of homes, families, and sacred places.

The warm red and green colors are enhanced by hundreds of small mirrored glass details that subtly reflect the light. As a result, the statue constantly changes its appearance depending on the light entering the room.\n\nThe figure is executed in the traditional Mandalay style from Myanmar and bears the characteristics of a royal Deva or Nat temple guardian. The high crown, refined facial features, raised shoulder ornaments, and decorative glass mosaics allude to the rich artistic traditions of the former Burma.\n\nAt a height of no less than 86 cm, this statue forms an impressive object for a living room, entrance hall, meditation room, practice room, or collection of Asian art.

The natural 'soft wear' on the friction points subtly reveals the black lacquerwork beneath the gold leaf, bearing witness to a centuries-old history.
