Special Features:
This piece is truly a stunning work of art, perfect for establishing a mood of peace and serenity for any garden or estate. The Buddha sits in his pose of meditation with the most perfect expression of bliss on his face. The slight chest and the curve of the collarbone are a true testament to the dignity of this piece.The sculpture took 12 months to carve out of gray granite. Attention was given to every detail. As with most Buddha sculptures the focal point is the face. The face is radiant, serene and utterly beautiful. The nose, eyes and hair are flawless. The mouth retains a slight hint of a smile as is customary in meditating Buddhas. Immediately when I saw this piece the hands and the feet caught my attention. The sculptor’s prowess is displayed here. The proportions are perfect. The hands are shown with all the details that hands have; lifelines, multiple creases in the skin around the joints, manicured fingernails and three little creases in the wrists which make you question if it is really a piece of granite. The feet and toes are large, curvaceous and smooth. The gossamer robes seem to be an extension of the Buddha’s body, settling on Siddhartha with the ease that clothes should have. Observe how the robe settles on the Buddha’s left leg, how easily it comes down over his shoulder to rest in the crook of his left arm.
The same attention to detail
is given to the back of the piece as the front. The entire piece is made from
two pieces of Granite, the Buddha and the lotus base. The Buddha is 5 feet 8
inches tall.
The lotus flower base of the piece is perfectly proportioned in respect to the Buddha. As a rule bases should be much larger than the actual piece it supports, usually twice as wide. Like the Buddha the piece is flawless. The same attention is given to the lotus petals on the back as the front. The base is 5 feet long, 3 feet four inches wide and 2 feet high.
The combined Buddha with lotus base measure 7 feet 8 inches tall.
The piece of granite itself is exceptional. There are no imperfections that are usually associated with a rock this large and the grain is beautiful as you can see on the close-up image taken of the face.
