This aventurine Buddha would be an unusual addition to your home or office decor. Carved from its mineral red variation, it depicts the monk seated on a high lotus throne and steeped in samadhi (yogic contemplation). Given the ratio of the height and width of the composition, it could be said to be a longline sculpture.
Aventurine is a kind of quartz that is known for its translucence and natural glisten. It is called aventurescence, a quality that is somewhat muted in this variation of the medium. The murti is defined by smooth lines and consistent engravings introduced into the aventurine. The aventurescence is best brought out in the relatively smooth sections of the sculpture’s surface area, such as the upper torso of the seated figure and the neatly defined features of His face.
This seated Buddha sculpture in aventurine quartz is perfectly symmetrical. The pleats of His raiment, the petals of the traditional lotus-shaped throne; the composure of the divine countenance.
