About the Item
A Thai kneeling ceremonial monk sculpture from circa 1920 with hand painted gilt and lacquer over stone. This remarkable Thai ceremonial kneeling monk sculpture, discovered within a temple, is an extraordinary artifact of spiritual significance. Skillfully hand-painted, its surface is adorned with gilt and lacquer over stone, presenting a stunning interplay of dark skin tones against the resplendent golden and brown hues of the monk's attire. Positioned in a graceful kneeling posture, legs tucked to one side, the sculpture exudes a sense of devout serenity and reverence. The monk's attire, draped to reveal one shoulder, cascades elegantly down his back, while his hands are clasped in a gesture of prayerful meditation. His tranquil facial expression conveys a profound sense of inner peace, inviting reflection and tranquility into any space.
This ceremonial figure would make a profound addition to a home, serving as a focal point in a living room, study, or personal sanctuary. It offers not only a decorative element but also imbues the space with a sense of calm and contemplation. For those seeking to create a paired arrangement, a second statue is available, allowing for a harmonious balance and symmetry in the display. Together, they can form a serene and inviting atmosphere, fostering an environment conducive to meditation and relaxation.

Bronze Lost Wax Sculpture Depicting a Praying Buddhist Monk with Offering Bowl
Located in Yonkers, NY
A small vintage bronze cast sculpture from the mid 20th century depicting a praying Buddhist monk sitting on a base and holding an offering bowl. Created with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) which allows for great precision and finesse in the details, this vintage bronze statue depicts a praying Buddhist monk sitting on a base, preciously holding an offering bowl. Having placed the bowl on his left hand, the monk is protecting the content with his right one. He is peacefully looking upwards, in a prayerful attitude. He is dressed with a thin robe uncovering his right shoulder, the fabric falling delicately on his left side. He is sitting on a base in a single lotus position. The bowl comes off as shown on image 9. The back is decorated as well, with less details than the front. With its nice depiction and dark patina, this vintage bronze praying Buddhist monk statue...
