Early 20th century Burmese Ava style Buddha. The Buddha is seated with the right hand palm facing out in a gesture that is said to bring fortune and good luck. The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow, reinforcing the impression of serenity and spirituality. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. The bejewelled Mandalay style robes cascade impressively down his torso. The head is surmounted by a domed 'Ushnisha', rising to a stylised bejewelled lotus bud finial. This 'Kecil' (pinnacle) is carved from teak wood.Provenance: Ex- private UK Collection.Please contact us for high resolution images of the piece.
