The listing
A commanding, museum-style centerpiece. This hand-carved standing Buddha is nearly 3 feet tall on its original black pedestal, and it fills a room with presence.

Hand-carved, with no replacement parts. ✨ Gilded in gold leaf over deep red lacquer, in the classic Burmese Mandalay style 💎 Glass mosaic inlay: thousands of tiny green and mirrored glass pieces set into the robe borders, crown band, and hem 🪷 Carved lotus pedestal, with the Buddha’s feet resting on it and a two-tier black wood base 🧘 Serene, expressive face with painted eyes, elongated ears, and a finely textured ushnisha (topknot) 🌀 Intricate scrollwork across the robe, shoulder sash, cuffs, and flowing hem, with detail on the back too 🖐️ Graceful pose, one hand lowered and the other gently gathering the robe Size: about 37" tall including base. Substantial, with real presence. Condition: Natural age wear. The gold leaf is worn in places and the red lacquer shows through, giving it that warm, aged, temple-piece look.
