A whimsical near pair of antique Burmese Mandalay crowned and jeweled parcel gilt wooden mythical Manuthiha figures.

Hand-carved in Burma … more A whimsical near pair of antique Burmese Mandalay crowned and jeweled parcel gilt wooden mythical Manuthiha figures.

Hand-carved in Burma (present day Myanmar) in the late 19th / early 20th century, the exceptional Buddhist carvings feature lacquered and gilded solid wood adorned with inset colored glass jewel mosaic pieces and applied metal ornaments, depicting the half-man double lion-body winged deity, rising on integral platform base designed to conform to an architectural angle.

The Manuthiha is a Burmese half-man half-lion mythical creature believed to be created by Buddhist missionary monks to protect a new-born royal baby from being devoured by rakshasis (ogresses) from the sea. Its statues are usually found guarding the four corners of a pagoda. It has a human head and torso and lion hindquarters. Thus, it can be called a Burmese sphinx. Notably, Manussiha is the symbol in the seal of Shwedagon Pagoda and the patch badge of Shwe Dagon Pagoda Security.
