Antique Burmese Jambupati Buddha – Royal Mandalay Style (ca. 1890)
This rare and authentic Jambupati Buddha statue from Burma (Myanmar) is a masterpiece of the Mandalay period. The Buddha is depicted in royal robes, symbolizing spiritual sovereignty over the universe. The statue depicts the Bhumisparsha Mudra (touching the earth as a witness), the crucial moment of enlightenment. The object is crafted using the traditional Hman-zi-shwe-cha technique: a hand-carved wooden core, treated with red lacquer (bole) and finished with a rich layer of authentic gold leaf. The detailed decorations and glass inlay are characteristic of the refined 19th-century Burmese court style. Unique feature: The eyes of this statue are inlaid with authentic organic material (ivory) for the whites of the eyes and black thayo lacquer for the pupils. Under UV analysis, the inlay exhibits the characteristic blue-white fluorescence that confirms its age and authenticity. The hand-hollowed base underscores the artisanal, antique character of this 7.2 kg object.
A museum-quality object for the serious collector of Asian art, bringing both aesthetic power and historical value to an interior.
