18th-19th Century Burmese Alabaster Buddha

This 18th-19th century Burmese alabaster Buddha statue is a classic example of Shan craftsmanship with a short, pointed finial atop a rounded usnisha.

Double-Lotus Design (Vishwa Vajra-Asana Style): The pedestal is divided into two distinct, symmetrical horizontal sections of carved lotus petals. The upper tier features upward-pointing petals (upward lotus), while the flared lower base mirrors it with downward-pointing petals (downward lotus).

Elongated, Slender Petal Carving: Unlike the shorter, stubbier lotus markings found on early pieces, these petals are long, clean, and separated by crisp, incised vertical ridges.

Gilded Lacquer Finish: The pedestal is finished in gold leaf over a dark lacquer base layer. The natural wear on the high points of the lotus ridges reveals the dark under-layer, creating a beautiful depth that highlights the three-dimensional quality of the carving.
