It is an image that immediately brings peace to a room.\n\nThe Buddha sits in Bhumisparsha mudra, the earth-touching posture. This mudra refers to the moment when the Buddha attains enlightenment and calls upon the earth as a witness. The meaning is powerful and timeless: grounding, inner certainty, protection, and overcoming doubt.\n\nWhat makes this image special is the combination of size, weight, and presence. At 51 cm high and 8.4 kg, it does not feel like a small decorative statue, but like a true altar object. The gilded skin, red lacquer underlayer, and small mirrored glass details give the statue that typical Burmese temple warmth: gold that does not scream, but lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 18px 0;\"\u003eThe underside shows old wood, traditional construction, and an old collection number. This gives the statue extra character and points to an older collecting history. The separate hand is present and is included; This is part of the weathered state of the object and does not detract from its strong presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid #b08d57; border-bottom: 1px solid #b08d57; padding: 18px 0; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eRepresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shakyamuni Buddha \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eMudra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bhumisparsha mudra, the earth-touching posture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eMeaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grounding, enlightenment, protection, peace and inner certainty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved wood, red lacquer underlay, gilding and mirror glass details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eOrigin \/ style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burma \/ Myanmar, Mandalay style\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eDating:\u003c\/strong\u003e ca. 1880–1920\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 51 × W 40 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.4 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #b08d57;\"\u003eSpecial features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old collection number under the base and loose hand present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0;\"\u003eA meaningful Mandalay Buddha statue for those seeking a warm, spiritual, and authentic atmosphere.
