A cast composite garden statue depicting a Buddha in a resting pose, seated with the head resting on crossed arms supported by the raised right knee. The figure features traditional iconographic details including a curled usnisha hairstyle and robes with incised scrollwork patterns to the shoulders and hem. An integral circular holder, designed for a votive candle or a small plant, is positioned within the lower drapery. The statue is finished with a gold-toned decorative coating over a darker composite base, likely magnesium oxide (MGO). This design is consistent with models produced by the manufacturer Glitzhome.
Height: Approximately 18 inches.
Condition report:
The statue shows evidence of extensive outdoor exposure and weathering. The gold-toned surface finish is rubbed and worn away across several areas, particularly on the high points of the hair and limbs, revealing the dark composite substrate beneath. There is a general accumulation of surface soiling and organic debris, notably within the integral holder and the deep crevices of the casting.
