Item Details
Description
A rare medieval Burmese amulet, masterfully sculpted in the likeness of a leopard or tiger, an emblem of power and ferocity. Carved from banded agate, this piece exhibits natural striations that enhance its tactile appeal. Its dimensions, 2.6 cm in length, 0.9 cm in width, and 0.5 cm in thickness (approximately 1.02 x 0.35 x 0.20 inches), speak to its delicate artistry. Hailing from the 14th century AD, this amulet embodies the Burmese artistic tradition of the time, which revered the tiger as a symbol of strength. The precision of the carving captures the animal's essence, making it a distinct treasure from the medieval period. The agate's banding adds a unique visual element, indicating the artisan's selective use of material to reflect the tiger's natural patterning. This ancient adornment offers a tangible connection to the spiritual and material culture of historical Burma.
