This statue is not a decorative object — it is a message. The 30 cm turquoise hand-carved Buddha depicts the Teaching Mudra pose: one hand raised high in a teaching gesture. The turquoise paint and rustic, vintage appearance create a special combination — a spiritual object and handcrafted piece simultaneously, radiating presence in any room.
The teaching Buddha — Dharmachakra mudra
The Dharmachakra mudra (the gesture of turning the wheel) is a symbol of teaching, enlightenment, and the first turning of the Wheel of Dharma in Buddhism. When Buddha first taught his disciples in his lifetime, he used this gesture. The Teaching Buddha statue is therefore a symbolic representation of education, wisdom, and transmission. In an office, school, or classroom corner it carries a particularly beautiful symbolism.
Hand carving and turquoise finish
The statue is carved by experienced Indonesian craftspeople, then given its characteristic vintage appearance through turquoise paint and sun drying. The paint is intentionally uneven and worn-looking — this vintage, rustic style is precisely what conveys this character. Every statue is unique: the details of the carving, the texture of the paint, and the proportions of the facial features may all differ. The net weight of 2.75 kg indicates the statue's substantial, characterful nature.
