The Instructor pose — Dharmachakra mudra — is the gesture of the Buddha's teaching: the hand movement symbolises the setting in motion of the wheel of the Dharma, the first turning of the teaching. This 30 cm white scrubbed suar wood statue has a restrained, noble character — its white surface reveals the natural grain of the wood beneath. It is hand-carved by Balinese masters using traditional methods. At 24×12×30 cm it is a statue that fits comfortably on a shelf, bookcase, desk or windowsill. It gently complements a space without dominating it.
Suar wood and white scrubbed finish
Suar wood (Albizia saman) is a tropical tree known for its hardness, durability and attractive grain. The white scrubbed finish is achieved by partial absorption of white paint: in the deeper parts of the wood, along the grain channels, the natural brown tones remain; on the raised areas white dominates. This technique gives the surface contrast and depth, and plays out differently on every individual piece — no two statues are ever exactly alike.
30 cm – desk size, fits anywhere
The 30 cm statue (24×12×30 cm, 3.35 kg) is a size that fits comfortably on a shelf, desk, windowsill or meditation corner. It does not dominate a space but gently complements it and provides a new focal point for the observer. The white scrubbed finish suits modern, minimalist or Scandinavian-style homes well. It also makes an excellent gift: a unique, hand-carved object that retains its beauty for a long time.
