Antique Khmer Reclining Buddha - 16cm

This serene antique Khmer-style reclining Buddha statue, expertly hand-carved from reclaimed teak wood, embodies the tranquil passage into Nirvana central to Cambodian Buddhist tradition.
 

Measuring approximately 61 cm in length and 16 cm in height on a rustic wooden base, the figure is adorned with a traditional ushnisha topknot, symbolizing the attainment of ultimate enlightenment.
 

The face, with its peaceful closed eyes and gentle smile, paired with elongated earlobes signifying renunciation, exudes a profound sense of calm and spiritual fulfillment.
 

The body, draped in flowing robes painted in earthy terra tones with accents of red and gold, has weathered into a rich patina that highlights the statue's age and artisanal heritage.
 

Crafted during Cambodia's revered Khmer period, this unique reclining form serves as a meditative centerpiece or a striking decorative piece, inviting contemplation and peace into any environment.
