Product Description & Specifications

Title

This serene Shakyamuni Buddha head is Burmese and sculpted from solid stone & lacquered with a dark reddish brown lacquer. Mounted on a simple black lacquered stand, this Buddha head dates to the 17th or early 18th century and crafted in the earlier Ava style. 

He has benevolent downward looking eyes and delicate smile. His smooth hair is topped by a long ushnisha (उष्णीष), symbolising wisdom & enlightenment.

How do I look after a piece from Indigo? 

Your antiques should look after themselves and should need very little cleaning. Occassionally dust with a microfibre cloth. For further information, ask us, or consult our How To Clean Antique Furniture guide

How did you become interested in Oriental antiques?

Marion & Richard spent much of their early lives travelling in India and developed a shared passion for the everyday beauty of Indian architecture and antiques. Tom, their son, and now owner has been travelling to Asia since 3 years of age.

We work with small family businesses in China & India who share our values. We go straight to supplier warehouses and workshops to check working conditions.
