Buddha Statue
This
piece is inspired by the "adorned Orant of Angkor Wat" (XVth century found in
the National Museum of Phnom Penh). Orants are compassionate beings,
disciples of the Buddha. This Orant is kneeling, expressing humility, his
hands are in prayer paying homage to a divinity. They are also symbols of
good luck and are often placed in the entrance of homes welcoming guests.
This sculpture is entirely hand-crafted and painted in rural villages in Cambodia.
Every piece is truly unique!
About
Wood Lacquering & Gilding: The artisans begin this process by sizing the
wood, before applying colors made with natural pigments. The pieces can
be adorned with copper or gold leaf gilding. Pieces that are glossy are
sanded and polished in order to give them their glossy finish. Some pieces
may be lacquered, smoothed and then varnished.
