This granite Garden statue is a one of a kind sculpture, hand carved by the artists of south India using a hammer and chisel.

Special Features:  The Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism, the religion and the philosophical system that produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia.  Buddha, meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title not a name.  In Hindu Dogma, the Buddha is viewed as being the 9th avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.  This piece is perfect for establishing a mood of peace and serenity for any garden or estate.  The Buddha sits in his pose of meditation with the most perfect expression of bliss on his face.  The slight chest and the curve of the collarbone are a true testament to the dignity of this piece.  Attention was given to every detail.  As with most Buddha sculptures the focal point is the face.  The face is radiant, serene and utterly beautiful.  The nose, eyes and hair are flawless.    The mouth retains a slight hint of a smile as is customary in meditating Buddhas.  The gossamer robes seem to be an extension of the Buddha’s body, settling on Siddhartha with the ease that clothes should have.  Observe how the robe settles on the Buddha’s left leg, how easily it comes down over his shoulder to rest in the crook of his left arm.

About Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.
