A serene Buddha head sculpture in concrete and Jempinis, set on a dark stand with a weathered green copper-toned finish. The closed eyes, softly composed mouth and elongated earlobes give the piece a quiet visual weight, while the distressed surface keeps it earthy rather than polished.
What the sculpture shows
The face is calm and symmetrical, with lowered eyelids and a gentle, inward expression.
Tightly raised hair curls rise into an ushnisha, the rounded crown form seen in Buddhist iconography.
A small urna mark sits between the brows, adding a fine point of detail to the forehead.
The green surface is mottled with warm coppery marks, giving the concrete an aged, verdigris-like look.
The black stand gives the head height and contrast, so the pale turquoise tones feel more pronounced.
Concrete, Jempinis and an aged green finish
The sculpture is made from concrete and Jempinis, with the head supported on a simple dark stand. Its surface has a deliberately worn look, with speckled copper tones showing through the green finish across the face, curls and ears.
The image in Buddhist context
A Buddha head is a sacred image before it is a decorative form. Features such as the ushnisha, urna and elongated earlobes are associated with traditional Buddhist representations of the Buddha, where they signify spiritual distinction rather than simple ornament. In a home setting, this kind of piece is best displayed with respect, away from clutter and treated as a contemplative object rather than kitsch.
Where to place it and how to care for it
Set it on a stable, level surface where the stand can sit flat. Dust gently with a dry, soft cloth, and keep the Jempinis base away from prolonged damp or standing water.
