Unique, large 18thC or earlier Burmese Buddha. Perhaps a portraiture sculpture of a specific person-likely a Westerner, which i’ve never seen on a Burmese Buddha statue. Whimsical "horn" cap finial. Distinctive robes which look western- His clothing looks like a "Tunic". A real mystery. Looks to be at least 18thC, possibly earlier. . I've seen hundreds of thousands of Burmese Buddhas, but none like this one. Perhaps commissioned during the colonial period by a high-level Western official. ( 18.75"H x 11.75"W x 6.5"D ) - 18.5lbs. Base (13.5"W x 1.5"H ) - 5.30lbs. A long time personal favorite, and if I had to keep one Buddha, this one would be in serious contention.
