Description from the seller
Southeast Asia (Myanmar/Thailand style) – Small ancient Buddhist votive statue in carved wood and gilded with fine 24-karat gold on a lotus base
Presentation & Iconography
Delicate and precious ancient Buddhist votive statue representing a monastic figure or a standing Buddha, presented on a lotus-shaped carved base.
Posture & Attributes: The figure stands in a hieratic, serene posture, arms slightly apart to carefully drape the folds of the monastic robe. The head has a soft modelling crowned by a traditional headdress.
Gilding: The piece is fully covered with a 24-karat gold leaf gilding, whose ancient patina shows beautiful nuances and localized wear revealing the underlying wood.
Base: The oval or semi-circular base is finely carved with stylized lotus petals.
Technical characteristics
Origin: Southeast Asia (Buddhist tradition)
Material: Carved wood gilded with 24-karat fine gold
Height: 9 cm
Weight: 26 g
Overall condition: Fine antique state of preservation, imbued with a strong spiritual charge and an authentic patina.
Gilding & Surface: Usures of use and natural rubbing of the gilding at contact points (face, hands, edges), giving the object its full charm of antiquity.
Structure: Presence of a natural wood desiccation crack visible at the base and on the back, perfectly stable and bearing witness to the natural drying of the material over time.
