Chinese Medicine Buddha on Lotus Throne – Hand-painted Wooden Statue – H 43 cm
Retail price: € 245.–
A striking hand-painted wooden Buddha statue with a calm, friendly appearance. The Buddha sits in the lotus position on a double lotus throne and holds a small vase or jug in his left hand. That detail makes the statue interesting: this likely refers to the Medicine Buddha, who is traditionally associated with healing, inner balance, and protection against suffering.
The statue has a strong decorative effect due to the contrast between the white face, the dark robe, and the deep red tones of the lotus base. The closed eyes, soft mouth, and raised hand give the whole a serene, almost meditative presence. It is not a sleek new statue, but an object with visible life: wear, traces of old dust, paint loss, and patina are evenly distributed across the surface.
The lotus throne is broad and powerfully constructed, with hand-carved petals and clear signs of age in the paint layer. It is precisely this weathered finish that makes this statue suitable for an interior where tranquility, spirituality, and character are more important than perfect, pristine condition.
Symbolically, the Medicine Buddha stands for restoration, calmness, and spiritual purification. In the home, such a statue is often placed as a point of rest, at an altar, in a practice room, meditation room, or in a place where one consciously wishes to establish a gentle, protective energy.
