AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Southeast Asia (Myanmar/Thailand style) – Small ancient Buddhist votive statuette, carved wood and finely gold plated with 24k gold on a lotus pedestal
Presentation & Iconography
Delicate and precious ancient Buddhist votive statuette depicting a monastic figure or a standing Buddha, presented on a lotus-shaped carved pedestal.
Posture & Attributes: The figure stands in a hushed, serene, hieratic posture, arms slightly apart to neatly support the draped monastic robe. The head features a soft contour crowned by a traditional headdress.
Gilding: The piece is entirely covered with a 24k gold fine gilt finish, whose ancient patina displays beautiful nuances and localized wear revealing the underlying wood.
Base: The oval or semi-circular base is finely chiselled with stylised lotus petals.
Technical characteristics
Origin: Southeast Asia (Buddhist tradition)
Material: Carved wood gilded with 24k gold
Height: 9 cm
Weight: 26 g
Overall condition: Fine antique condition, imbued with a strong spiritual presence and an authentic patina.
Gilding & Surface: Use wear and natural rubbing of the gilding at contact points (face, hands, edges), giving the object its full charm of age.
Structure: There is a natural desiccation crack in the wood visible at the pedestal and the back, perfectly stable and attestant of the material’s natural drying over time.
