A Buddha
Statute or Buddha Statues
is usually
formed after a mudra, this sculptures are creative pieces of
art work made from marble, jade, wood or
masonry.
It is a way to express
the faith in
Buddhism via a piece of
art. Buddha statues almost always come in a
realistic depiction its rather seldom in a
abstract form. If the Buddha is somehow
rendered in a abstract for its almost always
a painting. The material to create a
beautiful Buddha statue is mainly marble,
wood, brass and bronze, if enough money is
available a jade Buddha statue could be
done, jade Buddha this days are usually
created from white and lavender jade,
excellent green jade is only used with small
statues. Using wood as a material for a
Buddha statue is probably the preferred
method if details should be show since it is
hard to beat wood carvings for this.
Reclining Buddha statues are often seen at
pagodas and Buddhist monasteries
