Buddha made of crocodile wood

This beautiful Buddha was lovingly and harmoniously handcrafted by a Balinese carver from one piece of solid, colour-grained crocodile wood.

When selecting the Buddha figures we offer, attention was paid to a charismatic aura and a high quality of this craftsmanship. Special emphasis is placed on the meditative, balanced charisma.

This Buddha, handmade with attention to detail, is unique.

Crocodile:
Crocodile wood is a light-colored wood that is ideal for making sculptures. Not very hard and robust, rather soft, with beautiful exotic grain. The tree gets its name from its external appearance, the gnarled spinous processes are reminiscent of crocodile teeth or the skin of a crocodile. It is said that locals are regularly frightened by a piece of crocodile wood floating in the river, as they mistake it for a crocodile. Because of the light color, it is also called the “ivory of woods”.

Meaning of the Buddha:
Buddha means “the awakened one”. The term “Awakened One” refers to Buddha’s meditation. It stands for peace, inner balance and a conscious, attentive life.

Another note:
Wood is a natural product that always “works”. It reacts not only to temperature fluctuations but also to humidity fluctuations. Unevenness, cracks and dimensional and pattern deviations can occur on the object.
