Exceptionally rare and impressive Shan Buddha in bronze from Burma (Myanmar), dating to the 18th century. The figure is a remarkable example of Burmese Buddhist art with several unusual features.

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

The prominent usnisa (flame on top of the head) has a stupa-like form, a characteristic feature of Shan tradition.

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

A particularly unusual feature is the robe covering both shoulders, whereas typically only the left shoulder is covered.

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

What makes this Buddha truly unique is the right hand resting on a small elephant – an extremely rare iconographic element.

The bronze displays a beautiful light brown tone, enhancing the details and warmth of the piece.

The figure is in very fine condition and represents a true collector’s item.

With a height of 63 cm, this is a large and striking Buddha figure from Burma, ideal as a centerpiece.

An outstanding choice for collectors seeking a rare Shan Buddha with unique iconography.
