Large Buddha from Burma XIXème century. In the position of witnessing Vajraparyanka. Technique of dry lacquer or hollow lacquer called man-yun. The lacquer is deposited on a clay sculpture, which is removed once the lacquer is dry. Layers of lacquer and gold leaf are then applied. A process widespread in Burma from the 18th century, because it allowed these very light statues to be easily transported. Some missing parts.
