Details

From Bali comes this superb depiction of a teaching Buddha as he sits on sacred lotus flowers, his hands making the gesture which represents the transmission and discussion of his teachings known as the Vitarka mudra. The artisan's skill can be seen in details such as the Buddha's headdress, the drape of his robe and his slender fingers. When designing a new piece, master carver Wayan Rendah enjoys letting the wood's characteristics inspire him. In this case he works with hibiscus wood and finishes the statuette in the variegated brown shades typical of this wood.

"Beautiful Buddha"

Well-carved Buddha statue. Not an understatement to describe the artist who created it as a master carver. A beautiful, elegant, serene and meditative image of the Buddha. The perfect addition to any room. Nice on a shelf or your desk. A truly wonderful item.

"This product is so beautiful and Serene."

I love looking at this sculpture. It calms my soul. The wood is so very hard yet so soft to the touch. Wayan Rendah is brilliant. I have four of his carvings!

"A Wonderful Gift"

Mr. Rendah has got to be my favorite carver of Buddha statues. Ive had so many different ones over the years, but I always go back to his unique work. There is something organic about hand carved wooden Buddhas, and no one does it better than Mr. Rendah. I gifted this Sitting Buddha to a friend, and she loved it.

"Another Beautiful Buddha"

Over the years, I have owned a number of Mr. Rendah s beautiful Buddha statues. Each is a unique work of art. I am so pleased to now own his “Serenity Buddha.” This is the statue he carves in his video, and I ve always loved watching him create it. It will sit in an honored place on my small home altar where I meditate. Mr. Rendah, thank you for another amazing work of art.
