Experience the zenith of spiritual artistry with this intricately carved wood sculpture of Bodhidharma. Revered as the patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma is captured in deep meditation, his legs elegantly crossed, encapsulated in the tranquility of his full robes. His left hand rests gently in his lap, manifesting the dhyana mudra of meditation, while his right hand, raised, forms the vitarka mudra of teaching and discourse. A testament to his spiritual journey, a large mala necklace gracefully drapes around his neck. His distinct bald head, coupled with a bushy beard and expressive eyebrows, evokes a sense of wisdom and deep insight. Behind him, a halo emanates majestically, encircling him with a divine aura. Rooted in both art and nature, Bodhidharma sits atop a natural wood root ball, further grounding the sculpture in the organic world. This masterful creation stands as a harmonious fusion of spiritual symbolism, skilled craftsmanship, and nature's raw essence.

I always say to our customers; The sculpture chooses you, you do not choose the sculpture.
You just know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart. - Kyle Tortora, Founder of 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].
