beautiful buddha

Hand-carved of crocodile wood, Buddha rests his head against his knee in this beautiful and celebratory sculpture from Bali. Gung Gus creates the reverent sculpture, painting Buddha's skin in a gold tone with hand-painted floral motifs over his clothing.

Beautifully hand-painted on cotton fabric, a Balinese-style Buddha is serene. Artist Ida Bagus Lawa Bargawa works in traditional batik methods to render the figure of Buddha with his eyes downcast and his hand raised in a blessing.
