This beautiful Buddha statue is hand carved from one block of white marble and completely one of a kind, you will receive this exact statue with your order, perfect indoors our outdoors in all weather

This Buddha is carved in the Gandhara style, the classical tradition that emerged where ancient Buddhist art met Greco-Roman influence, giving the figure its idealized realism, softly modeled features, and gracefully draped robes. Shown in deep meditation with his hands resting together in dhyana mudra, the gesture the historical Buddha held as he attained enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, he embodies the mind settled in perfect stillness, thought and distraction quieted so that wisdom can arise naturally from within. Rendered in luminous white marble, the piece radiates purity and serene grace.

He sits in full lotus position, his hands resting one atop the other in his lap in dhyana mudra, palms open to the sky. His robe drapes over one shoulder in soft, sweeping folds fastened with a decorative clasp, leaving the right shoulder bare, and pools gracefully over his crossed legs. His serene face carries closed, downcast eyes and a gentle smile, framed by long ears and wavy hair swept back from the face into a topknot in the naturalistic Gandhara manner rather than the usual tight curls. He is raised on a large, wide double lotus pedestal, its overlapping petals carved in generous, rounded tiers. Carved from white marble and standing 36 inches tall, this piece is well suited as a garden, courtyard, or meditation sanctuary centerpiece, a serene and radiant focal point.

"The statue chooses you.

You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

Use a cotton cloth and gently buff the surface of the statue to bring out the natural polish of the stone.

White, red and black marble statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. Here are some easy tips to keep your White, red and black marble statues from Lotus Sculpture looking like the gods they are:

Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
To make the statue shine use a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
You can use a small amount of natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil to further polish the sculpture
Use a tooth brush to get into the hard to reach spaces of the sculpture
DO NOT TOUCH the painted surfaces of any of the white marble statues. This will damage the painting if done often

White marble statues that are unpainted can be placed outdoors. We recommend keeping our smaller red and black marble statues as well as any painted marble statues in an indoor environment. The red and black marble statues have some delicate pieces that could chip if left outisde. The paint from the white marble statues will not last for more than 4 years if left outside so use discretion when placing your statues outdoors.

The delivery charges include insurance, a residential lift gate delivery to your home or business. The freight company will call you to schedule a delivery day and time frame to make the delivery. Someone must be present to receive the statue. Depending on where you are located we will use either R&L Carriers, UPS Freight, Estes, DHX or Roadrunner Transport.
The freight company will use a lift gate to bring the sculpture to the ground and then use a pallet jack to move it anywhere on the same level. They will move it anywhere in your driveway or in your garage. They will not take it to your backyard or in the elevator to your apartment or up or down any steps. They will not be unpacking the statue and taking the crate away. Think of them as you would UPS or Fedex. They only deliver the statue. If you require a little extra service, (within reason) a tip to a delivery man usually works wonders!
For placing the statue our customers have either placed the statue themselves with help of a friend and a tool like a hand truck or a dolly. Or by contacting their landscaper who is used to moving large and heavy objects like rocks and trees into place. For much larger and heavier sculptures sometimes the customer needs a piece of heavy equipment for placing the statue like a crane or forklift. If you have any questions contact me directly at kyle@lotussculpture.com or (760) 994-4455
