17th C. Burmese Ava Gilded Bronze Buddhist Temple
17th C. Burmese Ava Gilded Bronze Buddhist Temple
Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Burma, Ava Period, ca. 16th to 17th centuries CE. This is a gilded bronze votive temple with four open-sided walls and a dramatically decorated roof capped by a tree-branch-like spire. This type of building is known as a pyatthat, a multi-tiered and spired roof found in Burmese royal and Buddhist architecture. This item was cast during the Ava period, a time of transition and upheaval in Burmese history, when ties with India - previously very strong - began to fall away because of the ongoing warfare and lack of centralized power. This is a really gorgeous example of a votive temple, probably made to be placed upon an altar. Comes with nice wooden custom stand. Size: 3" L x 3" W x 9.5" H (7.6 cm x 7.6 cm x 24.1 cm)

Provenance: Ex - B. Mussin Collection, San Diego, CA
