Meditating Buddha Statue Black and Grey Resin Medium

Still and quietly expressive, this black and grey resin Buddha statue brings a contemplative focal point to a shelf, console or meditation corner. The seated form, lowered gaze and hands resting in the lap create a composed presence, while the hand-painted finish catches the light across the robe folds and textured hair.

What you'll notice in the pose

• The figure is seated cross-legged, with the hands held together in a meditation gesture at the centre of the body.
• The face is calm and downcast, giving the statue a gentle, inward-looking expression.
• Raised curls shape the head, adding texture against the smoother lines of the shoulders and robe.
• The robe falls in deep, curved folds, picked out by the grey highlighting over the darker base.
• The broad seated base gives the piece a grounded look, suited to a quiet indoor setting.

Resin, painted by hand in Bali

The statue is made from resin and hand painted by artisans in Bali, Indonesia. The finish is layered in black and grey, with lighter brushing across the face, knees, robe folds and raised details to create an aged, softly worn effect.

Placing it at home

Set it where its front-facing pose has room to breathe: on a sideboard, bookcase, windowsill or low table. It works especially well beside simple textures such as wood, linen, stoneware or a candle holder, where the darker finish can stand out without feeling busy.

Care for the painted finish

Keep it indoors and dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking, abrasive cleaners or prolonged damp, as these can mark painted resin and dull the surface over time.

The symbolism of the meditation gesture

In Buddhist iconography, a seated Buddha with the hands resting together in the lap is commonly associated with meditation and collected attention. This gesture is often called the dhyana mudra, a hand position linked with stillness, contemplation and the disciplined mind. Here, the symbolism is expressed through a quiet form rather than ornate decoration, making the statue suitable for both a respectful meditation space and a calm decorative corner.

Size and details

This is a medium resin Buddha statue weighing 625 g. Each piece is hand painted, so small variations in tone and highlighting are part of its character.

A thoughtful gift for a quiet space

It suits someone who enjoys Buddhist-inspired décor, meditation objects or calm home styling. The weight, finish and composed pose make it feel considered, especially for a new home, work desk or personal retreat corner.

Common questions

Is this statue suitable for outdoors?
It is best kept indoors. The material is resin, but the painted finish should be protected from damp weather and harsh outdoor conditions.

Is this a Laughing Buddha?
No. This is a seated meditating Buddha figure, shown with a calm expression and hands resting in the lap, rather than the rounded, jovial Budai figure often called Laughing Buddha.
