MYANMAR, Mandalay Kingdom, early 19th century A significant Buddha sculpture in lacquered and gilded silver-plated bronze. The deity is depicted seated in vajrasana on a pedestal, hands in bhumisparsa mudra, one turned toward the sky and the other resting on the front of the pedestal, in a gesture of calling the earth to witness. The face, with full and harmonious features, displays a mouth forming a slight smile, the eyes half-closed in an expression of deep introspection. She is dressed in a golden monastic robe falling in folds over the bust and the front of the base. The surface retains a beautiful polychrome of gilded lacquer, contrasting with the silver-plated bronze sections left exposed on the Buddha’s skin. The hairstyle, composed of very fine, regular curls, is topped by the ushnisha. Height: 76 cm Provenance: private collection assembled in the 1990s. Sale of October 24, 1993, at the Auxerre Auction House, lot number 303
