An enormous statue measuring no less than 135 cm, a real eye-catcher in your interior. The statue features a very beautiful patina of age and is decoratively weathered in the right places; very characterful and super decorative, a true collector's item of considerable size! The statue is covered with dark lacquer and gilding.

Typical of Mandalay Buddhas is a round and youthful face. The Buddha wears a robe (Uttarasanga) that is elaborately folded and decorated with colored pieces of mirror glass, covering the arms and chest. This object is in good, characterful condition, showing signs of age and use consistent with its age, such as fading of the gilding, a few superficial cracks due to age where the wood has settled, one corner of the base is damaged, 1 finger is missing, the other has been repaired (glued), but the statue still looks fantastic, check the photos for more details, they are part of the !
