Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
In the early 19th century, amidst the enchanting landscapes of Burma, a masterpiece of profound spiritual significance came to life—a Water-bearing Burmese Buddha, a testament to the devotion and artistry of its creators. This remarkable sculpture, made of lacquered wood, captures a moment of deep prayer and reverence, a glimpse into the timeless rituals of a bygone era.

As you behold this sacred sculpture, you are transported to a world where spirituality and artistry converge. The Buddha stands in a posture of humble devotion, bearing water with a heart full of compassion. It's a poignant reminder of the simple acts of service that connect us to something greater, transcending the boundaries of time and place.
The sculpture, crafted from gilded painted wood, glows with an otherworldly radiance. The ornamental elements adorning the Buddha's robe are a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that went into its creation. Each stroke of paint, each delicate embellishment, tells a story of reverence and devotion, a silent prayer etched into the wood.

Resting upon a wooden riser, this Buddha stands as a symbol of humility and grace. The riser elevates it, both physically and spiritually, emphasizing the significance of the act of bearing water—a symbol of sustenance and life.

In the presence of this masterpiece, you can't help but be moved by the depth of spirituality it embodies. It's not just a work of art; it's a window into a world of profound faith and compassion. This Water-bearing Burmese Buddha is a timeless reminder of the enduring beauty of acts of service, of the boundless love and devotion that connect us all. It is a treasure that will infuse your space with a sense of peace, reverence, and the eternal cycle of life's blessings.
