This traditional 'Standing Buddha' would make the perfect addition to your Zen style room. The Buddha statue is made from stone. 

There are two types of Buddha statues in Khmer art: the unadorned and the adorned Buddha. This figure is an unadorned Buddha (with simple monastic robes). His figure is specifically presented by distinctive characteristics called
‘Sambhokaya’. 
The most interesting among them are: the cranial protuberance from the head of Buddha (usnisa) representing supreme knowledge, a tuft hair between the eyebrows (urna), long earlobes, curly hair, disks (cakra) on the palm and soles and monastic robes.

The draping style of the monastic robes in our time is indeed the same as that of the Buddha. There are three types of monastic robes: under garment (sampotngout), the robe that covers the shoulder (sometimes the shoulders) uttarasanga called (cheipor), the robe covering the lower part of the body from the hips antaravasaka called (sbang). The uttarasanga can be worn in two ways: the left shoulder is bare in the ‘krang’ style and the both shoulders are covered in the ‘khlum’ style.

Each piece you see here is made individually by our master artisans. The craftsmanship involved creates slight variations in color, finish, size, and shape - a quality we consider to be an added touch of uniqueness. The remarkable detail of our stone sculptures is due to meticulous and labor-intensive care by our craftsmen to produce these unique sculptures of exquisite detail and timeless durability.

About Stone:  The stone used for our sculptures is the grey Udai stone which is a solid stone that is perfect for any type of location and weather conditions, hot or cold, wet or dry. The stone is versatile in that it can be colored in a wide spectrum of colors.  It can also be polished or unpolished giving it a clean or rough feel.  In humid conditions if it is left untouched it takes on a very mysterious, antique, worn look like you would see in the temple ruins of India
