Authentic and elegant Shan Buddha in bronze from Burma (Myanmar), dating to the 17th–18th century. The figure is a textbook example of Shan style with numerous characteristic features.

This antique bronze Buddha statue is seated on a large multi-tier throne, giving it a refined and commanding presence.

The prominent usnisa (flame on top of the head) has a stupa-like form, a highly desirable feature in Shan Buddhist art.

The hair is rendered in small “peppercorn” curls, the elongated ears reach the shoulders, and the oval face features a notable distance between the brows and eyes. The broad nose and subtle smile create a calm and harmonious expression.

The figure is depicted in the classic “calling earth to witness” (Bhumisparsha) posture.

Traces of original gilding remain in several areas, adding depth and historical character.

The piece is in very fine condition, with only a minimal hole at the front of the throne.

With a height of 19 cm, this is an elegant and collectible Buddha figure from Burma, ideal for both display and collection.

An excellent choice for those seeking a classic Shan Buddha with clear stylistic features and authenticity.
