A BURMESE GILT LACQUERED WOOD FIGURE OF SARIPUTRA, c. 1900s A BURMESE GILT LACQUERED WOOD FIGURE OF SARIPUTRA, c. 1900s Burma, c. 1900. The disciple kneeling on a lotus pedestal, with his hands held in anjali mudra, and wearing a loose-fitting monastic robe embellished with green, pink, and clear glass inlaid hems. His serene face with downcast eyes and slender lips forming a calm smile, flanked by pendulous earlobes, the hair neatly arranged in tight curls. Mounted on a wood stand. Provenance: Private collection in Belgium. Condition: Good condition with some wear, mostly to gilding, age cracks, small nicks, and losses to inlays. Weight: 4.7 kg Dimensions: Height 48 cm Sariputra is often accompanied by Maudgalyayana, who together were the Buddha’s chief male disciples. Traditional accounts say they became spiritual wanderers in their youth. After having searched for spiritual truth for a while, they heard the Buddhist teaching through verses that had become widely known in the Buddhist world. Eventually they met the Buddha himself and were ordained as monks under him. Sariputra was considered the wisest of all Buddha’s disciples. Both disciples became teachers, and Maudgalyayana became known for his psychic powers which he taught to his pupils.
