Description
Lord Buddha is depicted in abhaya mudra also know as
the gesture of protection. This is one of the most popular hand
gestures of the Buddha which is said to transmit the energy of
protection, peace and a sense of strong, deep inner security.
The
art of wood sculpture goes back to the glorious epoch of the Khmer
empire and the monumental constructions that gave rise to the Angkor
temples. Our artisans have inherited patience and meticulousness from
their ancestors in the trade. They have learned to capture the
movements used in olden times and master the traditional tools in
order adapt to their personal lines of work.
This wood
sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand carved by the very talented
artists of Cambodia.
