Burmese Shan Jumbupati bronze Buddha, late 18th century, seated and crowned, with openwork appendages developed from the ribbon-ends of the crown, seated on a lotus base.
Dimensions:
Height: 28.5cm. (11 3/16in.)
Condition:
Top of crown, parts of appendages and section of base missing, general wear inkeeping with age
Notes:
Burmese Buddha images continued the crowned type derived from eastern India's influence at Pagan. This crowned type is called Jambupati Buddha in South-east Asia after a story which tells of an ambitious king of that name whom the Buddha humbled and converted by appearing in the unmatchable splendour of a Universal Monarch.
