BURMA, Kingdom of Mandalay, early 19th century A rare and significant bronze sculpture depicting the Buddha Maravijaya. The deity is shown seated in vajrasana on a pedestal, his hands in bhumisparsa mudra, one turned toward the sky, the other resting on the pedestal, in a gesture of calling the earth to witness. The face, with full and perfectly balanced features, is animated by a gentle smile, the eyes half-closed in an expression of deep introspection, characteristic of the Burmese aesthetic of the Mandalay period. The hair is rendered in very fine curls topped by the ushnisha. She is dressed in a monastic robe whose undulating, finely chiseled folds elegantly drape on either side of the figure. The central part of the base features an engraved cartouche in its center, bearing a dedicatory inscription. Height: 93.1 cm (Some wear and old mounting holes) Provenance: private collection assembled in the 1990s. Sale of April 12, 1992, at the Auxerre Auction House, lot number 171
