A finely hand-carved wooden Buddha statue from Burma (now Myanmar), likely created in the mid-20th century. The figure is shown seated in a classic meditation pose with one hand raised in the Vitarka Mudra (symbolizing teaching and dialogue) and the other resting in the Dhyana Mudra (symbolizing inner balance). The serene facial expression and gracefully carved robes reflect the quiet dignity of traditional Burmese Buddhist art. The carving showcases beautiful grain patterns and delicate tooling marks throughout. The solid wood appears to be a tropical hardwood, possibly teak, with a warm, natural finish. Age-related wear and surface irregularities give the piece an appealing sense of history and character. This sculpture has a smooth, softly worn surface from handling and time, with no visible maker’s mark. A calming and meaningful piece for meditation spaces, altar settings, or as a decorative focal point with spiritual significance. Good vintage condition with minor scuffs and wear consistent with age. The base has been fitted with felt pads for protection. No visible repairs.
9.75" wide, 6.75" deep, and 11.5" high.
