Buddha Statue in Abhaya Mudra on Lotus 2m Turquoise and Stone

• The teaching pose gives the statue a clear iconographic focus, with the hands presented as part of the figure’s meaning rather than as decoration alone.
• The turquoise colouring brings a softened, weathered character, especially against the stone-like surface tones.
• The large format gives the piece a strong visual centre, suited to a setting where it can stand with space around it.
• The fibre cement material suits the grounded look of the piece, with a solid, architectural feel rather than a glossy finish.

The statue is made from fibre cement, a material often chosen for large sculptural forms because it gives a firm, mineral-like presence without pretending to be carved stone. The finish is turquoise and stone-toned, giving the figure a time-softened appearance that feels calm rather than bright.

In Buddhist iconography, a teaching pose refers to the Buddha shown in the act of sharing the Dharma, the body of teachings associated with the path to awakening. It is a respectful and recognisable form, more formal than the rounded, smiling Budai figure often called a ‘laughing Buddha’. Here, the emphasis is on stillness, attention and the gesture itself.

Place it where the full height and front-facing form can be seen clearly, with enough room for the silhouette to read. Dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which may mark the coloured surface. A protected position is the more careful choice.
