Antique 19th-Century Burmese Wooden Statue – Polychrome
This characteristic wooden statue from Burma (present-day Myanmar) is a beautiful example of Buddhist folk art. With its weathered appearance and the remaining traces of original polychromy, this object tells a story of decades of devotion and natural aging.
Features & Aesthetics
- Authentic Patina: The wood displays a magnificent "dry wood" texture. The light weight of 700 grams is a direct result of the decades-long natural drying process, which confirms its age.
- Remnants of color: Clear fragments of the original painting are still present (blue, white, and red), giving the sculpture a unique visual rhythm.
- Craftsmanship: Fully hand-carved from a single piece of wood, including the simple, robust base. The abstract forms are typical of regional Burmese woodcarving from the 19th century.
