This is a profound and serene antique statue of Gautama Buddha (Shakyamuni) from the early 1900s, captured in the sacred Dhyana Mudra—the gesture of deep meditation that symbolizes his attainment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
Carved from solid Ebony wood, the statue embodies the elegant simplicity of Southeast Asian Theravada Buddhist art, with strong influences from Thai and Sri Lankan traditions. The Buddha's serene expression, half-closed eyes, elongated earlobes, and the ushnisha (symbol of supreme wisdom) are all rendered with masterful skill. Weighing a substantial 3.5 kg and standing 36 cm tall, this piece has a powerful, grounded presence. It is a true touchstone of spiritual art, ideal for contemplation or as a centerpiece in a curated collection.
