The Buddha depicted here is holding a vessel in his hands, the hand posture of a Buddha is also called mudra.
The Buddha belongs to the homeless wanderers who live on alms. The Buddhist monks therefore use the term beggar. So you could see them every morning at the alms round. This beautiful specimen is also unique, hand carved from solid stone. Frost and weather resistant.
Our sculptures are not perfect!
They are created by hand from natural material. Handcrafting offers no second attempt; each blow with hammer and chisel, once executed, is irrevocable.
Rock inclusions and/or small chips are testimony to the naturalness of the material and the dedicated craftwork of the artists and are therefore not to be considered a flaw.
Please keep this in mind if you decide to buy a hand-cut sculpture from Indonesia.
