meditation sculpture

Meditating serenely on a lotus throne. Buddha is a beautiful presence. Gulam Rasool captures his peaceful features and posture in a soapstone sculpture. A floral chakra wheel surrounds the master's head like a halo.

Perfect as he sits on a lotus blossom, this structural Buddha is handcrafted by stonework artisan Wayan Kandiyasa. The tranquil meditating figure sits serenely in its elegant robes. The final sculpture is bathed in an antique finish.

Holding its front paws above its head, a cat reaches toward the sky while sitting in the asana or lotus position. Inhaling and exhaling deeply, the cat practices Hindu yoga in a sculpture by Bali's Nengah Sudarsana. He masterfully carves the suar wood sculpture by hand.

Intricate spiral and leaf motifs capture the beauty of nature, surrounding an elegantly-realized omkara symbol for om, a meditative mantra found in Hinduism and Buddhism that expresses a universal connection between all things. Balinese artisan Made Mulyani designs this relief panel, carving it by hand of local suar wood. She paints it white and gives it a distressed finish for a characteristic addition to your home.

The OM symbol, representing all sounds and symbolizing the essence of the universe, is nestled among frangipani blossoms in this magnificent hand carved suar wood wall relief panel by Balinese artisan Seji Taram.

Known as om or aum, omkara is the root of all sounds, emitted as a mantra during meditation. It is believed all desires will vanish, thus attaining self-realization and the highest of knowledge. This one letter symbolizes the most high in the Hindu pantheon, representing every kind of trinity such as Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, past-present-future, birth-life-death; creation-preservation-destruction, and waking-dreaming-deep sleep.
