This 14th century Burmese bronze Buddha dates to the post-Pagan period and represents a classic and highly refined example of early Burmese Buddhist sculpture. The figure is seated in a composed meditative posture, conveying calm authority and spiritual focus through balanced proportions and restrained modeling. The facial features are serene and softly articulated, with gently lowered eyes and a tranquil expression that reflects the aesthetic ideals of the period.

Remnants of the original gilding remain visible across the surface, offering a compelling glimpse into the sculpture’s original appearance and devotional significance. The bronze has developed a richly aged patina over centuries, with subtle surface variations and wear consistent with age and long-term ritual use. These elements enhance the depth and authenticity of the piece without obscuring its form or details.

Compact yet visually strong, the Buddha retains a dignified presence that belies its scale. It is a textbook example of post-Pagan Burmese bronze work and would be a meaningful addition to a collection focused on early Southeast Asian art, Buddhist sculpture, or historically important devotional objects.

The sculpture measures approximately 4.75 inches in height, 2.75 inches in width, and 2 inches in depth, and is presented on a custom base.
