Vintage Burmese Monk Sculpture – Gilt Lacquer with Inlaid Glass & Stones (Kneeling Form)
Every room has a heart, and sometimes that heart is found in a single piece that commands quiet reverence. This Burmese monk sculpture, hand-carved and richly adorned in gilt lacquer, speaks of both spiritual devotion and the artisan’s skill.

Kneeling in stillness, his robes ripple with carved detail, inset with emerald and ruby-colored glass and stones that once caught temple candlelight. The timeworn surface — softened by generations, blackened with age, and kissed with gentle wear — gives the figure its authentic voice. This is not just decoration; it is presence.

Placed in your entry, library, meditation space, or great room, he invites calm, reflection, and conversation. A treasure that bridges the sacred and the decorative, a sculpture meant to be lived with.
