Seated Buddha in meditation
Compact Sri Lankan Buddha statue, seated with both hands in the lap in Dhyana mudra, the classic gesture of meditation and inner concentration. The hands rest one above the other with palms facing upwards. The figure wears a monastic robe over the left shoulder, leaving the right shoulder bare. The face is calmly modeled with downcast eyes, elongated earlobes, and stylized hair curls around the ushnisha.
Material and craftsmanship
The statue is carved from a single dark, dense piece of hardwood and stands on an integrated semi-circular base. The surface has a deep dark brown to almost black tone. Based on photography alone, a specific wood type such as ebony cannot be definitively identified; therefore, the material is conservatively described here as dark hardwood.
Condition
Older wooden statue with natural signs of use and age. Shrinkage/drying cracks and wear are visible on the base; the surface shows local polishing and color differences consistent with older use. Please view the complete photo series for condition and details.
