    Description

    For sale is a rare Burmese “Shan” Buddha Statue.
    We were told that the statue dates to around the 17th century. It is cast bronze, depicting a seated Buddha in the “Mara Vijaya” position.
    This Buddha was once gilded with gold. Over many years, the gilding has rubbed away, leaving a reddish tone.
    This piece was discovered during an archeological excavation outside of Mandalay. The excavation happened during the 1940s towards the end of the British colonial era.
    There are still bits of dirt in its crevices.
    The Buddha appears to be in overall good condition. There is a missing chip on the front right, and we are guessing that his head had a pointed top at one time. These age flaws do add character however
    It measures around 6x5x 10 inches
    Please see photos for details and feel free to message with any questions. Cheers!
