Nepalese Sandalwood Buddha Tree, 20th Century
About the Item
The sculpture, expertly carved from fragrant Nepalese sandalwood, stands as a testament to the rich tradition of wood carving in Nepal. The medium itself adds a sensory dimension to the artwork, with the subtle, natural aroma of sandalwood enhancing the overall experience.
The focal point of the carving is Buddha, depicted in a serene and meditative posture under the intricately carved Bodhi tree. The details on Buddha's face are finely chiseled, capturing the essence of enlightenment and inner peace. His eyes, half-closed in meditation, convey a sense of transcendental wisdom.
Surrounding Buddha are the five disciples, each meticulously carved in a unique pose that reflects their individual personalities. The disciples, with expressions ranging from reverence to introspection, symbolize the diversity of spiritual seekers on the path to enlightenment.
The Bodhi tree itself is adorned with delicate leaves and branches, showcasing the artisan's attention to detail. The roots of the tree snake around the base of the sculpture, symbolizing the grounded nature of Buddha's teachings.
The entire scene is set on a carved platform that represents the sacred ground where the enlightenment took place. The platform might feature additional symbolic elements such as lotus flowers, a symbol of purity, and intricate patterns inspired by Nepalese art and culture.
The sandalwood carving is finished with a smooth and polished surface, enhancing the tactile experience. The natural color variations in the sandalwood add warmth and depth to the sculpture.
This exquisite piece of art not only serves as a visual delight but also carries profound spiritual symbolism, making it a meaningful and culturally rich representation of Buddhism in Nepalese artistry.
