The Buddha who has been waiting 37 inches tall for the right room

The Buddha who has been waiting 37 inches tall for the right room Some objects decorate a room. This one changes it. Walk past it at night and the gold catches the light. Stand in front of it and you'll notice the face: eyes lowered, a faint smile, completely calm. People lower their voices around it, and that isn't an accident. The facts: • 37 inches tall, a commanding presence on its own base • Hand-carved solid wood, all original wood • Burmese Mandalay style, which an auction house has identified as Mandalay period • Rich gilded finish that glows in daylight and lamplight • Carved lotus pedestal under the feet, on a stepped square base • Intricate robes with scrollwork, beaded borders on every hem and sleeve, and a hand-detailed crown of beaded curls • Graceful hands and flowing robe that give the figure movement as well as stillness Why the price? A comparable Mandalay-style standing Buddha is listed by a New York gallery at $25,000. This one is priced for a collector who knows what it is and wants it without the gallery markup. Where it belongs: an entryway, a living room, a meditation space, a spa, a boutique hotel lobby, an executive office.
