About the Item

Very serene depiction of a Lohan carved in wood, eroded with the pass of time. Lohan is the Chinese term, derived from the Sanskrit word Arhan, for a disciple or follower of Buddha who has reached a state of enlightenment. The Lohan had been a popular subject in Chinese art at least since the cultural flourishing of the Tang Dynasty. Its expression reflects tranquility. Having achieved enlightenment, Lohans were free from all earthly desires and no longer subject to the cycle of rebirth. Custom-made metal base.
