Buddha Statue Hand Carved Suar Wood 60cm

A 60 cm hand-carved Buddha statue made from suar wood by Balinese artisans, with a natural wood finish that shows the grain and colour of the suar. At 60 cm tall, this is a floor-standing or large console piece — a piece of traditional Balinese woodcarving that works as both a decorative object and a focal point in a meditation or living space. What This Statue Offers Hand-carved from a single piece of suar wood using traditional Balinese tools and techniques.

Each statue takes weeks to complete, and no two are identical. At 60 cm, it has real physical presence without overwhelming a room — sized well for entryways, living rooms, garden spaces, or yoga studios. Suar wood has a warm, rich tone and visible grain that adds organic texture to any setting.

The wood is durable and naturally resistant to cracking. Works with a range of interior styles — from minimalist and contemporary spaces to bohemian and traditionally-styled rooms. Suar Wood, Balinese Craft Suar (also known as rain tree or monkeypod) is a tropical hardwood native to Southeast Asia.

It is favoured by Balinese carvers for its workability, its warm mid-brown colour, and the way it takes detail. Each statue is carved by hand — not machine-produced — using chisels, gouges, and knives in the traditional method passed through generations of Balinese woodworking families. Natural variation in the wood means each piece has unique grain patterns and subtle colour differences.

Weight: approximately 10 kg. Made in Indonesia. Placement and Care Suitable for indoor display on any stable surface that can support the weight.

If placing outdoors, keep under cover — direct rain and sustained sun will weather the wood over time. Dust with a soft dry cloth. If the wood appears dry after some time, a light application of teak oil or natural beeswax polish will refresh the surface.

Avoid placing directly on heated surfaces or near radiators, as extreme heat can cause wood to crack. The Pose in Context The Welcome pose (Abhaya mudra) shows the Buddha with one or both hands raised, palm facing outward — a gesture of openness, reassurance, and greeting that has been used in Buddhist and Hindu iconography for centuries. Balinese woodcarving has blended Hindu and Buddhist visual traditions for centuries, producing a distinctive artistic style that is recognised internationally.

These statues are carved near workshops in Bali, where the craft is both a livelihood and a cultural practice. A Meaningful Gift A hand-carved statue of this quality and size makes a substantial, memorable gift — suited to housewarmings, milestone birthdays, or anyone who values handmade art and craftsmanship. Common Questions Is each hand-carved Buddha statue truly unique?

Yes. Because each is carved by hand from natural wood, there will be slight variations in grain pattern, colour, proportions, and surface detail between pieces. Can I keep a suar wood statue outdoors?

Under covered outdoor spaces like porches or verandahs, yes. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct rain or harsh sun, which will weather the wood. How heavy is a 60 cm suar wood Buddha statue?

This statue weighs approximately 10 kg — solid enough to feel substantial, and heavy enough that it needs a sturdy surface.
