Extremely Rare Burmese Bronze Pagan Buddha Statue with an unusual lotus bud decoration circling the head, across the top of the forehead, extending down behind the ears, and crossing the base of the skull. The large raised urna on the centre of the forehead is referred to as the “Eye of Wisdom”, or “third eye”, an auspicious mark seen on many Buddha statues symbolizing wisdom, consciousness, and enlightenment.
This Pagan Buddha statue is seen here seated on a double lotus pedestal, the face shows a calm serene expression, with defined arched eyebrows, full lips upturned at the corners, eyes cast downwards, ears touching the shoulders, and the hand gesture in bhumisparsa mudra, the mudra symbolizing the moment in which the Buddha attained enlightenment.
