The statue reflects the Shan (Tai Yai) style, characterized by its elegant form and subtle detailing, which highlights the skill of the artisan. The serene expression of the monk conveys tranquility and a meditative presence, inviting reflection and peace. Throughout history, Burma has been a melting pot of various ethnicities and traditions, with Buddhism playing a central role in its cultural identity.

With dimensions of 13 cm in width and 5.5 cm in depth, and weighing 1.22 kg, this remarkable artifact is not just a testament to the art of its time but also a connection to the enduring spiritual legacy of Burma.
