Discover antique and vintage Burmese Buddha statues for sale from Myanmar's rich sculptural traditions. This collection includes Mandalay and Shan interpretations in carved wood and bronze, with lacquer, gilding and decorative details described for each individual work. Compare their expressions, robes and pedestals alongside the photographs and dimensions.
Mandalay sculpture is recognised for refined facial modelling and elaborate robes, while Shan images often show more elongated proportions. These stylistic features guide comparison alongside the construction and surface. In wooden examples, surviving lacquer, gilding and glass decoration reveal the craftsmanship of the finish. Bronze figures offer different evidence through their casting and patina.
Our specialists study each object with microscopy and UV light, documenting condition, wear, repairs and available provenance. We assess these findings together to support the regional attribution and estimated age. Collectors receive information about the particular sculpture rather than a date inferred from a style name alone.
