Item Details
Description
Wood, lacquer and gilding. Burma/ Myanmar, South. Chin State, 19th / 20th cent.


A charming work with plenty openwork! The terms “altar” and “throne” are not distinguished in the Burmese language and translate to Palin. The actual throne is bi-conical and stepped, the detachable Buddha figure sits on it in padmasana, the hand gesture is calling the earth goddess Bhumi to witness. Splendid features on the sides as well as the entire tall build with a niche in the form of a gate! The crest of the entire architecture is embellished with pearl seams and rich floral arabesques bearing a flaming spike in the uppermost area. In decorative reserves left and right of the throne are mythical birds, perhaps Hintha and/or peacocks (Daun), Burma’s emblem since the Konbaung dynasty. Gilt over a black and red lacquer base. Complete and therefore extraordinarily rare.
