Buddhist Stupa - Antique Thai Style Nirvana Stupa or Chedis -15.5cm/6"
Measures (Height) 15.5cm/6"
A finely worked and unusual antique Thai‑style chedi or reliquary stupa, richly detailed and full of character.
The stupa is one of the earliest and most beloved monuments in Buddhism, evolving from the ancient burial mound. The first stupas were raised to enshrine the Buddha’s ashes and sacred relics, and in time they were also used to house the remains of great disciples and treasured Buddhist manuscripts.
This elegant stupa refers to the Nirvana or Parinirvana of the historical Buddha at the age of eighty, symbolising his final passing and complete absorption into the highest state of enlightenment. It serves as a powerful reminder of impermanence, release and the peace that lies beyond suffering.
Shaped in the form of a lotus bud, the piece draws on one of Buddhism’s most enduring symbols. The lotus flower represents purity arising from the mud, boundless compassion and the giving of great joy to all beings, making this stupa a beautiful focus for contemplation and devotion.
The patina of age and the finely rendered decorative details are particularly appealing, giving the sculpture warmth, depth and a sense of quiet antiquity.
Traditional in appearance yet strikingly sculptural, this reliquary stupa is sure to add a unique and serene presence to any room in your home, meditation space or workplace, whether displayed alone or as part of a curated Buddhist art collection.
