Carved Wooden Thai Buddha
$16.00
This smooth, wooden sculpture is of a Thai Buddha, known around the world for its calm and meditative state of appearance. Thai Buddha sculptures are unique and their appearance and design are defined within Thai culture. Ancient Pali texts read that a Buddha should have the following appearances: skin so smooth that dust cannot stick, legs like a deer, thighs like a banyan tree, shoulders massive as an elephant's head, arms round like an elephant's trunk, and long enough to touch the knees, hands like lotuses about to bloom, fingertips turned back like petals, head like an egg, hair like scorpion stingers, chin like a mango stone, nose like a parrot's beak, earlobes lengthened by the earrings of royalty, eyelashes like a cow's, and eyebrows like drawn bows. Buddhas are a great reflection piece within any space, and look at peace sitting in a garden, near running water, or in another special place of your choosing.
Measurements:
Approx. 6 1/2” tall, 6” wide, and 3" deep.
Responsibly Imported From Bali

I'm trying to make over my bedroom; make it a more "zen", contemplative place. This is absolutely perfect for on top of the dresser. Love the color and the craftsmanship. Once again, super pleased with my purchase!
