This 30 cm Greeting Buddha Statue is hand-carved in Bali from Suar Wood — using traditional methods with attention to every detail. The Buddha depicted in the Greeting pose, with raised hand and open palm, symbolises openness, goodwill and hospitality. The 30 cm size is easy to handle and suits a shelf, table or windowsill equally well.
Balinese wood carving — the work of hand and time
The hand-carved Suar Wood surface shows a different grain pattern, shade and texture on every statue. The deeper, darker grooves and smoother, lighter surfaces placed side by side create visual depth and character. The 30 cm size has a suitable weight (approximately 3.35 kg) — stable without wobbling, yet light enough to move easily.
The Greeting Buddha
The Greeting Buddha (Abhaya mudra) symbolises fearlessness, openness and blessing through the raised hand. Placed at a door, entrance hall or gateway it traditionally symbolises the hospitality of the home. It suits a living room, meditation corner or garden equally well. The 30 cm size has a significant presence without being intrusive.

Care

Wood occasionally treated with teak oil or furniture oil will remain fresh and richly lustrous. Kept indoors in a dry location, the statue will preserve its natural beauty and stability.
