As a celestial bird-man, the Kinnari symbolizes beauty, harmony, love, and spiritual purity. Within the traditional culture of Myanmar, she is seen as a being that forms the connection between the earthly and the heavenly world.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe statue is executed in the classic Mandalay style and displays the characteristic graceful dance posture, known as Tribhanga. The flowing body lines, deeply openwork wings, richly detailed bird feathers, and layered royal crown bear witness to the craftsmanship of an experienced master woodcarver.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nCarved from solid Burmese teak, the sculpture has developed a beautiful deep dark brown patina over the years with a warm, silky sheen. In the deeper areas, remnants of the traditional black Thitsee lacquer layer characteristic of high-quality Burmese temple sculptures are still visible.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe underside displays clear signs of older craftsmanship, including traditional saw marks, deep natural oxidation, and an old collection sticker from a European private art collection. Together, these details form a compelling image of an object that has survived generations and fully retained its authentic character.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThanks to its elegant posture and symbolic significance, this Kinnari constitutes not only a special collector's item but also a powerful decorative artwork for an interior, altar, meditation room, or Asian-inspired living space. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6d3b;\"\u003eSymbolism of the Kinnari\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Kinnari symbolizes beauty, fidelity, compassion, harmony, and spiritual refinement. In Buddhist stories, she is described as a celestial being that brings happiness and peace. Consequently, a Kinnari is traditionally seen as an auspicious presence within domestic and spiritual environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6d3b;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003eKinnari \/ Kinnara\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003eBurma (Myanmar)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003eClassic Mandalay style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003eLate 19th century \/ early 20th century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003eSolid hand-carved Burmese teak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e37.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e16 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c2;padding:10px;\"\u003e1.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57531564654923,"sku":"644","price":545.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/antieke-kinnari-birma-mandalay-stijl.jpg?v=1780910993","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/antique-kinnari-burma-myanmar-mandalay-style-ca-1880-1920-solid-hand-carved-teak-pre-1926-antique","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
