Design & finish
The composition combines a seated Buddha, layered lotus throne and an integrated flame-form halo with a warm antique tea-gold surface. Highlighted metallic details bring depth to the crown, jewellery, robe folds and halo ornament, while the darker recessed areas create a naturally aged, temple-art character.
How to display it
Because of its 42 cm height and roughly 6 kg weight, use a sturdy altar table, console, cabinet or dedicated pedestal. Allow open space around the flame halo so its silhouette remains clear. Dark timber, stone, neutral textiles and warm indirect lighting complement the antique tea-gold finish without overwhelming the sculpture.
Suitable spaces & gifting
Appropriate for a home altar, meditation room, Buddhist study, tea room, cultural collection or as a meaningful gift for a temple supporter, Buddhist art collector or someone creating a contemplative interior.
