About the Item

This sculptural head, crafted from heavy soapstone —a naturally occurring metamorphic rock —depicts a serene Southeast Asian-style figure with softly closed eyes, arched brows, and a gentle expression. The minimalist detailing and the smooth, polished surface emphasize calm and peace. We feel like the world stops going crazy, and we smile back at him. Mounted on a solid base, the piece has a strong, balanced, and dignified presence, reminiscent of a Buddha representation, suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.
