Carved Teak Mandalay Reclining Buddha
A reclining Mandalay Buddha with a serene face and gracefully draped robe is carved of dense Burmese teakwood. Detailed edging on the robe, and the forehead band and tightly curled hair over the wide Mandalay unisha are fine examples of the artful use of thayo, a thickened lacquer used with great expertise by Burmese lacquer artisans. Traces of gold add richness to the thin coating of red/brown lacquer that covers the figure. This exquisite mid-20th century Buddha is in excellent condition. Dimensions: length 22-1/2" (55), height 6-1/2" (17 cm), depth 4" (10 cm).
