This striking white statue depicts the face of the Buddha and features all of his famous characteristics. His long ears are said to symbolize wisdom and are large enough so that he may hear our tales of suffering. His curly hair refers to snails that, legend has it, kept his head cool while he meditated and sought enlightenment. And finally, there is his Ushnisha or the famous oval at the crown of his head. This statue measures 20 inches tall, 7 inches wide, and 7 inches deep. This statue's surface features slight imperfections and variations in color that add to the piece's unique artistry.

Meaning & Intention
This serene face carries the Buddha's most storied features, each one a teaching in its own right. His long, extended earlobes recall a life once weighted with princely jewels, now emptied and open — a reminder that he chose to listen deeply to the suffering of others rather than turn away from it. His downcast, half-closed eyes turn attention inward, modeling the quiet focus of one absorbed in meditation rather than the noise of the outer world.
The tight curls that spiral across his head are traditionally said to represent snails that settled there to shield him from the sun during his long meditation toward enlightenment — a small act of shelter mirrored back as spiritual protection. Rising above them, the Ushnisha, that graceful raised point at the crown, marks the fullness of his awakened wisdom, a visible sign of the boundless awareness said to radiate from an enlightened mind.
Together, these details turn a single face into a study of stillness: a being fully at peace, fully attentive, and fully awake. Displayed on its own, this head statue distills the Buddha's presence to its essence, inviting quiet reflection wherever it rests.
Placed on a console, shelf, or meditation altar, this statue becomes a small daily pause point — a face of calm to return to between meetings, at the end of a long day, or before settling into stillness. Its serene expression asks nothing of the room around it, simply offering a steady presence that encourages slower breathing and a quieter mind.
