Hello John, This item is a finely carved rock Buddha statue, measuring approximately 6x5x4 inches, exuding a serene and contemplative presence characteristic of mid-20th century Southeast Asian style. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the statue reflects the artistic sensibilities and cultural influences prevalent in the region during that period. The Buddha statue, believed to be crafted from jade, showcases traditional Southeast Asian design elements, such as intricate carvings and delicate features. Its depiction of the spiritual figure in a meditative posture resonates with the spiritual traditions of the region, symbolizing tranquility and inner peace. The inclusion of a gold leaf signature panel beneath the statue adds to its allure and authenticity, suggesting the work of a skilled artisan or master carver from the era. This signature panel not only enhances the artistic merit of the piece but also provides valuable insights into its provenance and craftsmanship. As a representation of Buddhist iconography and Southeast Asian artistic heritage, this carved rock Buddha statue serves as a timeless symbol of peace, wisdom, and enlightenment. Good condition overall. Retail prices may vary
