Stone-fossilized Maitreya 夹石弥勒

SGD 380.00

  • Maitreya Buddha made of cliff cypress wood, naturally fossilised with a stone. Natural fusion between stone and wood shows the rare symbiosis of these two naturally occurring materials, making them a precious combination.

  • In this piece, the stone is “held” in maitreya’s arms, signifying the possession of “absolute” power (a stone is pronounced “shi”【石】, which is the same pronunciation as “absolute” 【实】)
