19th Burmese Carved and Giltwood Stupa with Buddhas in Niches

19th Burmese carved and giltwood Stupa with Buddhas in Niches.  Circa 1860.

A wonderfully carved 18th century Burmese Shan period stupa with many seated Buddha's set in niches. With original gilding and red and green polychrome. The stupa is a Buddhist architectural monument honoring a sacred site. Lovely worn surface that shows the patina that only comes with age. This is a unique carving that will make a stunning spiritually imbued addition to your home. Nice scale at 30 inches tall and 10 inches diameter.
