Thai 20th Century Kneeling Ceremonial Temple Monk Lacquered and Gilt Sculpture

About the Item

A Thai kneeling ceremonial monk sculpture from the 20th century with hand painted gilt and lacquer over stone. This 20th-century Thai kneeling ceremonial monk sculpture, sourced from a temple, is an authentic piece of Southeast Asian art. With its striking contrast between the dark hues of the monk's skin and the golden and brown tones of his attire, this statue captivates with a blend of tranquility and traditional craftsmanship. The monk is depicted in a reflective pose, kneeling with one leg tucked beneath him, hands joined in prayer, exuding a peaceful demeanor. The monk's robe is intricately detailed, draping elegantly to create cascading folds that enhance the sculpture’s sense of motion and spirituality. The robe, adorned with hand-painted gilt and lacquer over stone, partially covers the shoulder, adding to the figure's graceful asymmetry. Despite some wear and damages in the lower section, the sculpture retains its profound aesthetic impact and spiritual resonance. This piece would serve as a serene addition to any home décor, particularly in a meditation room, personal shrine, or as a distinctive accent in a living room. It invites a sense of calm and contemplation into any space, making it more than just a decorative item but a source of daily inspiration.
