This Thai-style meditating Buddha statue in white measures around 20 by 11 by 27.5 centimetres and is cast from poly-resin. The hand position echoes the meditation gesture: both palms rest together, quietly in the lap. The white finish has a clean, neutral mood, so it fits easily into an existing home setting.
How it serves at home
You will be glad of this statue if you want to create a quiet corner at home: in a reading nook, on top of a bookshelf, on a window sill, on the corner of a small table or on an altar. At 27.5 centimetres tall it is easy to see without overwhelming the objects around it. The meditation hand gesture lends a quiet, focused feel to the space.
Material and use
Poly-resin is a durable, easy-to-clean material, suitable both for indoor use and for a covered garden or terrace spot. We do not recommend exposing the statue to direct rain, long hours of strong sunshine or frost, as the surface may yellow over time and small cracks could appear.
Size and weight
The statue weighs 882 grams, enough to stand firmly in place and not tip over when moved a little. At 20 centimetres wide and 27.5 centimetres deep, it fits well on a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a wider window sill. As it arrives in a cardboard box, it also presents nicely as a gift.
Cleaning and care
Wipe the surface with a soft cloth from time to time, so dust does not build up. Avoid strong chemical cleaners and abrasive sponges, as they may damage the white finish. If you place it in an outdoor corner, check it once a week for any contact with water or dirt.
Origin and arrival
The statue is made in China, formed and painted by hand, and arrives in a cardboard box. Because each piece is cast from a mould, the surface pattern and the shade of paint can vary slightly between examples.
