AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
South-East Asia (Myanmar/Thailand style) – Small ancient Buddhist votive statue carved in wood and gilded with 24-karat gold on a lotus pedestal
Presentation & Iconography
Delicate and precious ancient Buddhist votive statue representing a monastic figure or a standing Buddha, presented on a lotus-shaped sculpted pedestal.
Posture & Attributes: The figure stands in a hieratic, serene posture, arms slightly extended to hold the draped folds of his monastic robe with care. The head shows a soft modeling topped with a traditional headdress.
Gilding: The piece is entirely clad in a gilding of fine 24-karat gold, whose antique patina displays superb nuances and localized wear revealing the underlying wood.
Base: The oval or semi-circular base is finely chiseled with stylized lotus petals.
Technical characteristics
Origin: Southeast Asia (Buddhist tradition)
Material: Carved wood gilded with 24-karat gold leaf
Height: 9 cm
Weight: 26 g
Overall condition: Fine antique condition, imbued with a strong spiritual aura and an authentic patina.
Gilding & Surface: Wear from use and natural rubbing of the gilding at contact points (face, hands, edges), giving the object all its charm of antiquity.
Structure: Presence of a natural drying crack in the wood visible at the base and back, perfectly stable and evidence of natural drying of the material over time.
