Crowned Buddha of wood 19th century from Myanmar (Birma)

• This style of Buddha statue, also referred to as the Royal King Buddha has lots of  embellishments. The Jambhupati style traditionally wears a conical crown with earrings and jewels.
• This Buddha is sitting on his knees and heels with the toes on the throne.
• The Burmese royal crowned Jambhupati Buddha image originated from the story of the Buddha’s encounter with King Jambhupati, whereupon the Buddha adorned royal attire in order to humble the arrogant and overbearing king Jambhupati, who threatened one of his followers. The King on seeing the Buddha dressed in such splendor was overawed and from that day onward he became a follower of the Buddhist teachings and he himself became a monk and realised enlightenment.
