Extra large gold gilt seated antique Burmese wood Buddha. The mudra where the Buddha touches the ground is called the bhumisparsha mudra, which translates to “earth touching mudra”. In this mudra, the Buddha’s right hand is extended downward to touch the earth, while his left hand rests in his lap. Hand carved of wood, the inside is hallowed out.

The Ccondition is very good and consistent with age. Relaxed and calm face and the buddhas gaze looks forward and down.

Gold is significant in Buddhism because it represents the sun, which is associated with enlightenment, knowledge, and purity. A traditional Burmese technique that involves inlaying colored glass and mirror fragments on the surface of a Buddha figure with a lacquer called thayo.
