EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Carved Figure from Mandalay, Myanmar (formerly Burma), in South East Asia. Created around 1900, this exquisite wooden figure was specifically crafted for the European market and is adorned with an array of intricate details. The artist skillfully embellished the figure with sequins, inlaid glass, and gilt relief lacquer known as Hman Si Shwe Cha. Seated gracefully, this enigmatic figure is believed to represent Buddha due to its long hair and serene expression. Its vibrant colors - bright yellow, orange, green, and red - bring a burst of life to any space lucky enough to display it. The ornate ponytail adds another layer of cultural significance to this masterpiece. The craftsmanship displayed here reflects the rich Burmese culture that has been celebrated for centuries. Every stroke reveals the immense talent possessed by the artist who created such a stunning work of art. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection under TRURI : 1500.17, this photograph by Mike Searle allows viewers worldwide to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this unique piece without commercial intentions but rather as a testament to human creativity and cultural heritage.
