Shown seated in a relaxed posture with a joyful expression, the figure holds prayer beads, referencing spiritual fulfillment and good fortune.

The sculpture is cast in a pale stone-toned composition material, finished to resemble carved stone. The underside reveals a hollow construction, consistent with decorative production methods of the mid 20th century. Subtle surface wear, tonal variation, and soft detailing contribute to the piece’s visual warmth and character.

Well suited as a decorative accent, this figure works beautifully in meditation spaces, shelves, consoles, or as a sculptural element within eclectic, Asian-inspired, or contemporary interiors. Its expressive form and symbolic presence give it both visual and cultural appeal.
