Buddha Statue Teaching Hand Carved Wood, 60cm Orange

• The teaching pose gives the statue a composed, attentive quality, suited to places where you pause, read or sit quietly.
• The seated form creates a steady silhouette, with the hands held as the visual centre of the piece.
• The orange tone adds warmth without feeling bright or glossy, pairing well with natural wood, linen and stone.
• Hand-carved detail gives the surface small variations, so the figure reads as an individual object rather than a moulded ornament.
• Its weight gives it real presence in a room, especially on a low console, plinth or dedicated altar space.

This statue is made from suar wood, then hand-carved, painted and sun-aged in Bali, Indonesia. Suar is valued for its strength and natural grain, which helps each carved figure carry its own surface character. The vintage finish is part of the design, with subtle differences expected from piece to piece.

Place it on a level, stable surface where its weight is properly supported. Keep it away from prolonged damp, strong heat and harsh cleaning products. Dust with a soft dry cloth, taking care around carved folds and raised details.

In Buddhist art, hand gestures are used to communicate meaning as clearly as posture or expression. A teaching Buddha is associated with the sharing of wisdom and the turning of attention towards understanding. In a home, this kind of statue can be appreciated as devotional art, as a contemplative focal point, or simply as a beautifully carved object with cultural depth. The important thing is placement with care and respect, allowing the figure space rather than treating it as background decoration.

Height: 60 cm. Weight: 20,000 g. Made from suar wood with an orange painted, sun-aged vintage finish. Origin: Indonesia.

This suits someone creating a meditation space, furnishing a calm interior, or choosing a piece of symbolic art with real presence. It is especially fitting for a housewarming, studio opening or milestone birthday.
