Motif
The intricately carved painting depicts a seated Buddha with the Bhumisparsha mudra gesture.Buddha as a spiritual figure embodies wisdom, enlightenment, peace, and inner balance. He symbolizes the path to overcoming suffering through meditation, morality, compassion, and a deep awareness of the true nature of existence.

Mudras are symbolic hand positions that have profound significance for conveying the spiritual messages and teachings of the Buddha. The Bhumisparsha mudra is depicted with one hand in the lap with the palm up and the other touching the ground. This mudra captures the pivotal moment when the Buddha attained enlightenment and invites the Earth to witness this precious moment. The gesture signifies the Buddha's unwavering resolve and concentration in the face of distraction and temptation. It emphasizes the grounding and stabilizing power of the Earth and reflects the Buddha's deep connection to the natural world.

The Suar wood material comes from the Saman Samanea tree, also known as the Monkey Pod. The extraordinary elegance of this material lies in the beauty of its natural grain pattern and the texture of the wood. Each piece thus acquires original beautiful shades from very light to dark brown. Thanks to the exceptional character of suar, carvers can create enchanting works of art down to the smallest detail.

The Tradition of Balinese Woodcarving
Woodcarving is an ancient art form that reflects the distinctive style of talented Balinese artisans, and is a very popular souvenir from the  "Island of the Gods".
The art of Bali was and still is deeply rooted in the local religion. Hindu and Buddhist traditions first reached Java and then Bali about a thousand years ago, providing an important cultural foundation for Balinese society. Balinese culture has drawn inspiration from a variety of sources, including Chinese and Malay traditions. The combination of these influences has given rise to the Hindu-Javanese arts and crafts we know today.
The spiritual traditions of Bali are closely linked to artistic expression, serving as a means of expressing devotion and fulfilling obligations to the deities.
