A reclining Mandalay Buddha with a serene face and gracefully draped robe is carved of dense Burmese teakwood. Detailed edging on the robe, and the forehead band and tightly curled hair over the wide Mandalay unisha are fine examples of the artful use of thayo, a thickened lacquer used with great expertise by Burmese lacquer artisans. Traces of gold add richness to the thin coating of red/brown lacquer that covers the figure. This exquisite mid-20th century Buddha is in excellent condition. Dime... Click for details

Two native bearers hold aloft a bronze gong creating a tableau that was likely made for a colonial official during Burma's long colonial period (1885-1941). This is a large piece--the figures nearly two feet tall, weighing 22 pounds each--suited for use in a large dining room or entry hall. According to accounts in "Victoria and Albert Museum" by John Lowry, and "Burmese Crafts Past and Present" by Sylvia Fraser-Lu, large, ornamental gong stands were among objects sought and commissioned by Euro...

Three carved monkeys cavort along the handle of this delightful 38-inch long water ladle. It is customary throughout the hot countries of Southeast Asia to place large containers of water and ladles outside houses so anyone passing in need of a drink may help themselves. This wonderful early 20th century red monkey ladle of the Shan people in Burma is unlike any other ladle we have seen. It might have been inspired by the tribes of monkeys that often live around Buddhist complexes and beg treats... Click for details
