Question 1

What does the white scrubbed surface treatment mean on this statue?

Accepted Answer

The white scrubbed technique involves rubbing white pigment into the carved wood surface, then scraping back the excess. The result: white colour remains only in the recesses of the wood grain, enriching the natural pattern with white lines. This gives the statue a restrained, modern-rustic appearance.

Question 2

How should I care for this white-scrubbed wooden statue?

Accepted Answer

Keep the statue in a dry location and avoid prolonged moisture, which could fade the white pigment. Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting. Avoid wet wiping, as the white surface is sensitive to moisture. If the wood dries out, apply a neutral wood oil carefully, avoiding the white-treated areas.

Question 3

What does the Welcome hand gesture symbolise in Buddhist tradition?

Accepted Answer

The hand gesture with a raised open palm is called Abhaya mudra, which literally means fearlessness. It symbolises protection, peace, and openness - those who see it feel a sense of welcome and safety. This is why it is particularly popular near entrances or in meditation spaces.
