Product description
Physical Dimensions & Status Height: 60.5 cm | Width: 39.5 cm | Weight: 7.1 kg This monumental wooden Jina Buddha (60.5 cm) is an impressive example of traditional Indonesian woodcarving from the second half of the 20th century. Entirely hand-carved from a single solid block of heavy tropical hardwood, the sculpture boasts an exceptional weight of 7.1 kg and a powerful, monumental presence. The combination of classic Buddhist iconography, Balinese-Javanese royal ornamentation, and traditional textile motifs makes this a unique collector's item and an impressive statement piece for a stylish interior. The Philosophical & Spiritual Significance: Why this sculpture is essential This Jina Buddha unites ancient Buddhist symbolism with the rich artistic traditions of Bali and Java. Bhumisparsha Mudra: The right hand touches the earth, symbolizing the decisive moment when the Buddha called upon the earth as a witness to his enlightenment. This hand gesture represents steadfastness, truth, and inner strength. Jina – The Conqueror: The title "Jina" refers to one who has overcome all worldly desires and inner obstacles and achieved complete enlightenment. Royal Mukuta: The richly adorned crown emphasizes the Buddha's elevated spiritual status and reflects Bali's royal sculptural tradition. Batik Parang: The hand-painted Batik Parang/Sawat pattern refers to royal dignity, protection, and spiritual power within Javanese culture. Material & Craftsmanship Analysis Monolithic Hardwood: The entire sculpture is carved from a single solid block of high-quality tropical hardwood, a rare technique for pieces of this size and weight. Authentic Heart Crack: The natural vertical heart crack in the center of the sculpture is characteristic of old solid wood and confirms that the object is not composed of multiple parts. Traditional Polychromy: The gold lacquer, warm pigments, and hand-applied Batik decorations enhance the sculpture's rich Balinese-Javanese aesthetic. Original Underside: The base still shows the original gouge and chisel marks and is finished with a historic black protective lacquer, without modern restorations or synthetic fillers.
