A piece that speaks without making a sound. The 40 cm tall, hand-carved Buddha statue in a teaching pose places a point of presence in the living room, the meditation corner, or on a hallway dresser. It stands there quietly and reminds you each time you come home that, alongside the rush of the everyday, stillness is also a topic worth attending to in your own house.
A statue many hands have worked on
The statue is made from suar wood, hand-carved using traditional methods on the island of Bali. Carving a single statue can take weeks, and the many small details bring a lifelike quality to every piece. Because of that, no two examples are entirely identical: the grain of the wood, the gentle irregularities of the carving and the tone of the surface all make this particular piece unique. The teaching pose, with its gesture of instruction, brings a calm, welcoming mood into the room.
Where does this size fit?
At 40 cm tall, the statue is large enough to stand on its own in a space without being pushed into a supporting role beside other decorations. It works well on a shelf, a lower dresser, a side table next to a sofa, or in the centre of a meditation corner. Placed on a small textile in a longer hallway, it can also serve as a clear focal point. Over the years the wood develops an even finer patina, so the piece remains a loyal companion in your home.
