Statue
This magnificent
Cambodian Buddha statue was recently carved from an antique piece of wood.
Lord Buddha is standing on a
lotus flower base. His hands are held up
in
abhaya mudra. The ushnisha, protuberance
above his head also referred to as a topknot, it symbolizes His wisdom and openness
as an enlightened being. The ushnisha is also said to symbolize the loose
connection between the mind and body of a Buddha. The Buddha is always
depicted with elongated earlobes, a vestige of his life as a prince, when he
wore extravagant jewelry.
The art
of wood sculpture goes back to the glorious epoch of the Khmer empire and the
monumental constructions that gave rise to the Angkor temples. Our
artisans have inherited patience and meticulousness from their ancestors in the
trade. They have learned to capture the movements used in olden times and
master the traditional tools in order adapt to their personal lines of work.
This wood
sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand carved by the artists of Cambodia.
