Subtle variations in the finish, surface texture and the monk’s features are a natural part of the handmade process and make each piece truly one of a kind. The handcrafted metal stand is equally individual, with small variations that reflect its artisanal making and a finish that may naturally develop a richer patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDimensions including the metal support: around 27cm tall x 16 x 13cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe ship worldwide. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf your country is not listed in the checkout please \u003ca href=\"mailto:info@kirschon.com\"\u003econtact us \u003c\/a\u003efor a shipping quote.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"kirschon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40401972133930,"sku":"22PMSA1","price":161.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/8390\/4804\/files\/praying-monk-statue-java-hardened-sand-asian-art-kirschon_733fe40d-2d7d-44dd-b20f-715cfa18217c.jpg?v=1789726494","url":"https:\/\/kirschon.com\/en-ch\/products\/praying-monk-statue-from-java-1","provider":"Kirschon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
