17th Century, Very Rare & Large Burmese Wooden Disciple

Very rare and large Burmese wooden disciple, standing with left hand touches his chest, and calm facial expression. Trace of original lacquer remaining in excellent condition.

The name of this disciple is Mogallana. He is one of the two great disciples of the buddha. He always stands on the left side of the buddha while Sariputta always stands on the right.

After becoming Buddha's disciples, Mogallana gained enlightenment within 7 days and attained supernatural powers. Mogallana was very optimistic and brave and he always took up the cudgels for justice. In addition, he was pre-eminent above all Buddha's disciples in terms of supernatural powers as he always utilized his powers during Dharma propagation. Though Buddha disallowed his disciples to reveal their divine power and delude others, He always praised Mogallana for his supernatural powers.

Measurement: Height 170 C.M. / Width 49 C.M. (size excluding black stand)
