- Large wooden Buddha sculpture probably Laos, 19th-20th centuryLocated in Milano, ITn the heart of your sacred space, there resides a timeless masterpiece—a magnificent wooden Buddha sculpture that whispers secrets of the ages. Crafted with utmost devotion, this ethereal creation is believed to have its roots in the mystic lands of Burma, dating back to the 19th or perhaps even the early 20th century. As you gaze upon it, you'll find yourself transported through the corridors of history.

The narrow waist and the gently rounded shoulders and chest reveal the artistry's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of a bygone Burmese sculptural style. Seated in the full lotus position, the Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility that permeates every inch of your room. His right hand gracefully rests upon his knee, cradling a precious myrobalan fruit...Category
