A modest icon of Lord Shakyamuni Buddha in wood, what we have here is the perfect balance of rawness of medium and sophistication of message. A calm pale yellow tone and the coarse, unpolished texture of the surface of this wood Buddha statue are what makes it a unique piece of the great Master.
The Buddha sits on a tastefully carved platform shaped like an upturned lotus, a flower that has become universally synonymous with wisdom, purity, and enlightenment.
With simple chiseling and modeling of the wood Buddha statue, his characteristic features are presented in the icon. Coiled hair, cranial protuberance, long earlobes, and the robes of a Buddhist monk, each attribute is added to the wood Buddha icon, bringing to this compact and unpretentious woodwork finesse.
