About the Item

A Thai religious hand carved wooden statue of a seated Buddhist monk with polychrome and gilded accents from the early 20th century. This early 20th-century Thai statue, masterfully hand-carved, captures the tranquil essence of a seated Buddhist monk in a moment of profound prayer and meditation. Originating from Thailand, the statue showcases the skilled artisanship of the era, depicted through the monk's serene expression and shaven head, all reflecting deep inner peace and spiritual wisdom. The monk's attire is rendered with delicate precision, adorned with polychrome glass accents that beautifully contrast against the gilded wood.
