Mandalay Buddha, Bronze, Burma, 19th Century.

Bronze sculpture in the Mandalay style representing Shakyamuni Buddha, i.e. the historical Buddha, founder of the religion who lived at the turn of the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The figure is seated in the Vajrasana (lotus) position, legs crossed, both feet pointing upwards. The Buddha is depicted in the Bhumisparsha Mudra gesture, i.e. "touching the earth". The right hand rests on the knee, fingers pointing downwards, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment and the call to the earth to witness victory over Mara (the demon of temptation). The left hand rests flat on the knee, palm up. The Buddha's face is serene and meditative, with a slight smile. The eyes are narrow, half-closed, with well-defined whites and dark pupils created using the inlay technique. The Buddha is dressed in a monk's robe (sanghati), revealing his right shoulder. It is mounted on a wooden base added later.

Burma, Mandalay, second half of the 19th century.

Height 43 cm, width 31 cm, depth 18 cm.
