A soulful piece of devotional folk art, this carved wooden sculpture depicts the Buddha seated in meditation. The right hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra—the gesture of fearlessness, protection, and reassurance. Unlike highly polished court statues, this piece features a primitive, rhythmic carving style where the monastic robes are represented by deep, parallel grooves across the chest and arms. A stylized aureole (halo) frames the head, which is topped with a traditional ushnisha bun. The dark, matte wood is mounted on a simple black metal stand.
