Created by artisans on the island of Java in the 1940’s, this striking piece in stone is a captivating blend of ancient heritage and deep symbolism.

Buddhism began to flourish in Java at the time of ancient kingdoms Sailendra and Majapahit (8th to 15th centuries). Since then, Javanese artisans known for their intricate skill, transformed volcanic stone into sacred statues, temple reliefs, and cultural artifacts. These periods saw the creation of iconic temples like Borobudur,
the globe’s largest Buddhist temple and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Today, these master carvers continue their ancestors' legacy, blending ancient techniques with modern artistry to create works that embody Java's timeless devotion to beauty and meaning.

The Buddha comes complete on a black metal stand and its story printed out for you inside a beautiful envelope. The handmade metal support carry its own authenticity, with subtle imperfections and the potential for a natural patina to emerge over time.

Dimensions with the stand: 38 x 20 x 16cm
