This exquisite hand-carved Cambodian wood statue represents the Teaching Buddha in a pose that radiates serenity and wisdom, making it an essential addition to any space dedicated to contemplation, learning, or spiritual growth.
The Teaching Buddha is depicted sitting gracefully in the ardhapadmasana, or half-lotus position, a posture associated with meditation and enlightenment. The slight smile on his serene face and the elongated earlobes, traditional symbols of wisdom and spiritual understanding, evoke a sense of peaceful contemplation and inner harmony.
One of the most striking features of this statue is the Buddha's hands, which are positioned in significant mudras or symbolic gestures. The right hand is held in the vitarka mudra, a gesture that represents the transmission of Buddha's teachings and the discussion of spiritual principles. His left hand rests gently in his lap in the dhyana mudra, symbolizing the calm and concentration essential for deep meditation.
The statue's unique muted red color imparts a warm, grounding energy, while the dark, tightly curled hair atop the Buddha's head adds a contrasting touch of depth and texture. This color scheme, along with the statue's detailed carving, highlights the artisan's skill and the rich tradition of Cambodian craftsmanship.
Resting on a tall, beautifully carved lotus petal motif base, the statue not only stands firmly but also symbolizes purity and spiritual ascension, as the lotus is known to rise above the murky waters to bloom beautifully and untouched.
Ideal for temples, home altars, meditation spaces, or as a focal point in any room seeking a touch of tranquility and inspiration, this Cambodian wood Teaching Buddha statue is more than a decorative piece; it's a medium through which the profound essence of Buddha's teachings can permeate any environment.

Founder, Lotus Sculpture
The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant.
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or [email protected].
