About the Item

This 12th-century Pagan votive tablet is a rare artifact from Burma (Myanmar), showcasing the rich history and artistry of the Bagan period. Crafted from terracotta, the tablet measures 19 cm in height, 14.4 cm in width, and 6.5 cm in depth, weighing approximately 1.04 kg. The Bagan region is renowned for its extensive collection of Buddhist art and architecture, with thousands of temples and stupas that reflect the profound spiritual heritage of the time. The votive tablet features the Bhumisparsha mudra, where the Buddha reaches down to touch the earth, symbolizing enlightenment and the call to witness his own awakening under the Bodhi tree. This gesture embodies the themes of stability and reassurance, resonating with the Buddhist teachings during a time of rapid growth and religious fervor in the Pagan kingdom. Historically, such votive tablets served as devotional objects, often placed in temples or at home altars, symbolizing the devotion of practitioners. The intricate relief work represents not just the technical skills of the artisans but also the vibrant spiritual context of the era. Owning this artifact is a connection to a rich tradition of faith, artistry, and culture that flourished in ancient Burma, making it a significant addition to any collection of historical and cultural significance. 12th century Pagan Votive Tablet Material: Terracotta 19 cm high 14,4 cm wide and 6,5 cm deep Bagan style Bhumisparsha mudra 12th century - original from the Pagan period Very rare !

Located in Ukiah, CA

I’ve always been drawn to these early Burmese clay votives, especially the larger ones that were clearly meant for a shrine or temple setting rather than personal wear. This example is pre-Pagan to my eye, or at least very early Burmese, and probably getting close to 1000 years old. The face and proportions have that directness the earliest Burmese devotional objects sometimes carry — simple, almost severe at first, but very compelling once you spend time with them. What I especially like here is the scale. Most surviving votives of this type are much smaller and heavily worn down. This one still retains a surprising amount of presence and definition. The clay surface has aged beautifully too. Softened naturally over time, with just enough remaining detail to keep pulling your eye back into the figure. I’ve handled quite a few Burmese votives...
