Artisan Crafted Mahogany Wood Sculpture, "Reading Buddha"

A young Buddha attentively studies the scriptures, the power of his concentration evident in this statuette by Nyoman Karsa. Kneeling in front of a meditation bell, Buddha holds a book in his hand, which is embraced by the gentle folds in his gown. Karsa hand-carves his image with supreme perfection and delicate detail from elegant mahogany, as the wood's grain adds natural accents that embellish the work. A work of mystical aesthetics ideal for the learned in Buddha's teachings.
