Hand carved mahogany buddha. Deeply charred wood.

This beautiful statuette shows Buddha in a deep state of meditation. Hand crafted from mahogany wood and deeply charred. Coated with epoxy resin. The intricate detailing of Buddha's hair, face, and clothing is truly exquisite, and the grain of the wood brought out by the burning process. The pose in which Buddha sits is traditionally known as dhyana mudra, where his right hand represents enlightenment, and the left is the illusory nature of existence.
