Rare and authentic pair of Burmese Buddhist monk statues in prayer, dating from the 19th century. Hand-carved in wood, lacquered, and gilded, they depict the monk in a posture of devotion, his hands clasped in Anjali Mudra, a gesture of profound prayer and humility.
The details are exquisitely crafted, notably a golden robe inlaid with glass or precious stones, testifying to the traditional Burmese craftsmanship of the Konbaung dynasty (1752-1885). The delicate fingers, serene expression, and graceful posture highlight exceptional artistry, characteristic of temple sculptures.
The wood of one of the two statues shows signs of movement (see photos), revealing small cracks, evidence of its age.
Dimensions: 54 x 17 cm, height 22 cm.
