Burmese Gilded Wooden Buddha with Glass Inlay – Peace, Protection and Positive Energy

Estimated value: €295 – €325

Some Buddha statues stand out immediately due to their appearance. 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. The 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. What 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. The 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. Due 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.
