- Lot Description
A breathtaking late 19th to early 20th-century Burmese Buddha, masterfully carved from wood, lacquered, and gilded. Seated in dhyanasana atop a rectangular pedestal, his serene visage is enhanced by glass-inlaid eyes, while his hands form the bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing enlightenment. An elaborate headband crown, set with red glass, complements his engraved necklace and bangles.
Behind him, an intricately openworked back panel forms a grand throne, featuring mythical naga serpents and crowned with a spire finial reminiscent of a flaming ushnisha. This regal representation aligns with the Jambupati tradition, a narrative of divine majesty and wisdom. Size: 28" L x 9" W x 47.5" H (71.1 cm x 22.9 cm x 120.6 cm); 48.5" H (123.2 cm) on included custom stand.
In Mayanmar lore, King Jambupati was an arrogant and powerful ruler who sought to assert his dominance over all other kings. To humble him, the Buddha manifested a magnificent jeweled palace and appeared seated on an elaborate throne, adorned in royal regalia. Witnessing the Buddha's supreme grandeur, Jambupati was overcome with awe and realized the insignificance of worldly power. Humbled, he renounced his arrogance, accepted the Buddha's teachings, and eventually became a devoted follower.
