Buddha Relief Wall Art Leaf Antique Gold 70x100cm

A large-format wall relief in antique gold, 70 cm wide and 100 cm tall, cast from fibre cement and finished to read like aged stone. The Buddha motif sits in low relief against a leaf-textured ground, the whole surface washed in a warm, burnished gold that deepens in shadow and catches the light at the edges. At 14 kg, it has the quiet authority of something architectural rather than decorative.

What it brings to a wall

• The antique gold finish shifts with the light, cooler in the morning, warmer under evening lamps, so the piece reads differently through the day.
• The leaf-pattern ground gives the surface movement without busyness, framing the central figure with organic texture.
• At a metre tall, it fills a wall the way a large canvas does, but with the added dimension of shadow falling across the relief.
• The fibre cement construction means the finish is consistent and durable, with none of the fragility of plaster or the flatness of a print.
• The weight and depth make it feel permanent, closer to architectural detail than to a hung picture.

Fibre cement, made in Indonesia

Fibre cement is a composite of cement, sand, and cellulose fibres that produces a surface holding fine detail without the brittleness of pure plaster. It is heavier and more durable than resin, and takes a painted or antiqued finish well. This piece is made in Indonesia, where the craft of decorative cement casting has a long tradition in both temple and domestic architecture.

The figure and its tradition

The Buddha depicted here sits within a composition of stylised leaves, a motif that appears across Buddhist and Hindu temple carving throughout South and South-East Asia, where the leaf or lotus form traditionally represents growth, renewal, and the natural world as a setting for contemplation. In Buddhist iconography, the seated figure in repose is one of the oldest and most widely recognised forms, associated across many traditions with stillness and the practice of meditation. The antique gold finish echoes the gilded surfaces of temple statuary found across Thailand, Bali, and Java.

Size, weight, and hanging

The piece measures 70 cm wide and 100 cm tall, and weighs 14 kg. At this weight, it requires secure fixings into a masonry or timber-stud wall, standard picture hooks are not sufficient. Use two or more heavy-duty wall anchors rated for at least 20 kg, spaced to match the hanging points on the reverse. Fixings are not included; check the reverse of the piece on arrival to confirm the hanging mechanism before drilling.

Care

Wipe with a dry or very lightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct rain, fibre cement is durable indoors but is not sealed for outdoor or bathroom use unless specified. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the painted finish.

A considered gift

A strong choice for someone furnishing a calm, considered interior, a meditation room, a hallway, or a living space where one large piece is preferred over a gallery wall. The scale and finish make it a gift that reads as genuinely considered rather than incidental.

Common questions

Is this suitable for outdoor use?
No. Fibre cement is durable indoors, but this piece is finished with a painted antique gold surface that is not rated for outdoor exposure or sustained moisture. Keep it inside.

How heavy are the fixings I need?
The piece weighs 14 kg. Use wall anchors or screws rated for at least 20 kg into solid masonry or a timber stud. A professional installer can confirm the right fixing for your wall type.

Will the gold finish vary between pieces?
The antique gold finish may show slight variation in tone and depth between individual pieces. This is part of the character of the finish rather than a defect.
