Item description

In the mid-18th century, in the enchanting land of Burma during the Shan period, a magnificent masterpiece of spiritual art was born: an extraordinary seated Burmese wooden crowned Buddha, often called "King Buddha." This sacred sculpture transcends the boundaries of ordinary representations, adorned with diadems and regal ornaments rather than conventional monk's robes, embodying a unique symbol of royal divinity. Looking at this splendid Buddha, you will be transported to a realm where spirituality and royalty converge. This crowned Buddha, with its majestic three-tiered crown, indicates not only the Buddha's enlightened wisdom but also his universal role as a benevolent ruler, a symbol of serene authority. It is as if the very essence of sovereignty and spiritual wisdom is woven into the intricate carvings and serene face of this sacred figure. The passage of time has left its mark, with the underside bearing the signs of age and wear. Yet, the colors endure, still vivid and bright, as if untouched by the hands of time. Amid the shades of red and the small strokes of gold, the skill of Rever's 18th-century artisans emerges, a testament to their skill and reverence for the divine. This crowned Buddha, cradled on a wooden pedestal, represents a bridge between the earthly realm and the heavenly heights. It is a tangible link to a bygone era, a living testimony to the spiritual devotion and artistry of its creators. In the presence of this extraordinary Buddha, you will find yourself caught up in a sacred embrace of wisdom and sovereignty, a reminder of eternal truths that transcend the ages. It is not just a work of art: it is a beacon of divine grace, a treasure that whispers stories of a distant time and place, and a symbol of enlightenment that continues to shine in the present moment.
