| Inscriptions cover the left and back sides of the throne under this 18th century seated Burmese Shan Buddha. Made of lacquered wood coated with gilt, the figure is graceful and well proportioned, with a finely carved face. Long, tilted eyes under high eyebrows that sweep upward toward the hairline are the most arresting features of the peaceful face, which is smoothly capped in dark lacquer and topped with an exceptionally tall finial. Hands and robe details are simple and realistic; the feet, depicted soles up, are stylized and add a jaunty aspect to the otherwise traditional figure. The gilt coating on the Buddha and the throne is worn. The Buddha is in very good condition; the throne is damaged on the bottom surface, and a 1/2-inch wide piece of the bottom right side of the throne is missing. Dimensions: height 11 1/2" (29 cm), width 3" (8 cm), depth 2 3/4" (7 cm). | |||||||||||||
