19th-century Antique Burmese Shan Marble Buddha Statue, seated on a single Lotus pedestal with hand gesture in bhumisparsa Mudra, and large bulbous pointed finial sitting on top of a rounded usnisha.
This Buddha statue is seen here wearing a simple dark-coloured monk’s robe, with a gold and red painted lapel draped over the left should, extending down the back and around the edges of the robe, with large flanged ears frequently seen in the Ava style Buddha Statues which reach down to touch the shoulders.
The face and hands on this Burmese Shan Buddha statue are exceptionally beautiful. The robe, hair curls, and finial have been repainted in more recent times, not unusual for many old Buddha statues from Burma, although usually they are regilded rather than painted.
