Chinese Vintage Carved Stone Sculpture Depicting a Seated Monk Holding Objects
About the Item
A Chinese vintage carved stone sculpture of a seated monk carrying objects in his hands. This vintage carved stone sculpture presents a serene monk seated atop a tall, textured base, holding various objects in his hands that hint at his spiritual pursuits. Adorned with a headdress featuring cloud motifs, the monk captivates us with his dynamic posture, which evokes a sense of tranquility and wisdom, and his generously carved facial features convey a gentle and contemplative expression. The skillful craftsmanship is evident in the delicate details, from the folds of his robe to the intricate carvings of the objects he holds, lending the piece a lively, almost storytelling quality.
With its modest proportions and rustic appeal, this vintage stone monk makes an excellent garden ornament, infusing a space with a sense of calm and meditation. Place it amidst lush greenery or along a garden path to create a contemplative nook or a peaceful sanctuary. Alternatively, it could be positioned on a patio or near a water feature, where its spiritual aura will harmonize beautifully with nature's elements. Perfect for adding a touch of Eastern philosophy and serenity to any outdoor space, this seated monk sculpture will effortlessly enrich your garden's aesthetic with its timeless presence and tranquil energy.

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...
