This sculpture depicts him seated in a meditative pose upon a double-lotus base. He wears an elaborate, detailed crown and flowing robes, with one hand raised in a teaching or blessing gesture, and the other resting on his lap. The carving is incredibly detailed, and the wood has developed a rich, warm, honey-brown patina over time, highlighting the depth of the craftsmanship.

This piece is perfect for a meditation altar, a zen-inspired space, or as a striking standalone decorative accent for collectors of Asian art. It is in good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age. See less
