The welcoming gesture — a slightly raised, open hand — is perhaps the oldest sign that someone is truly glad to see you. This 40 cm white scrubbed Buddha statue was created from suar wood by Balinese artisans: every piece is unique, with details that differ from one sculpture to the next. When a statue enters the home, the character of the space changes — the white surface brings lightness, and the presence of the welcoming Buddha radiates quiet dignity and calm.
Suar Wood — Natural Beauty, Living Grain
Suar wood (Samanea saman) is one of Indonesia's most prized timbers: its dark and light grain creates a distinctive pattern that artisans take care to keep visible. The white scrubbed surface does not conceal the wood's natural character — on the contrary, the soft wash highlights the grain and emphasises the texture. The result is a sculpture that is both organic and refined.
Hand-Carved — Every Piece is Different
Balinese artisans work using traditional carving methods: creating a single statue takes several days, sometimes weeks. This means no two pieces are identical — every statue carries its own features, its own grain, its own subtle details. The finely carved face of the welcoming Buddha, the detailed folds of the robe and the rounded forms all bear the marks of handcraft.
