Natural malachite Buddha with expressive drawing a rare, highly aesthetic collector's item- 132.89 g

This impressive Buddha made from solid, natural Malachit captivates with its intense green tones and the characteristic, exceptionally clear banding that runs like fine currents and concentric waves across the entire figure. The intricate craftsmanship perfectly highlights the depth and movement of the mineral, while the typical silky surface of Malachit gives the piece an almost lively radiance.

The figure depicts a traditionally smiling, peaceful Buddha, whose soft forms and harmonious proportions beautifully blend with the natural grain of the stone. Notably, the darker accent lines emphasize individual contours like calligraphic brushstrokes, adding extra spatial depth to the piece.

Malachite figures of this size and quality are comparatively rare, as the mineral is challenging to work with. All the more remarkable is the smoothly polished surface, which makes the luminous green shine and turns the Buddha into a real eye-catcher – whether as a symbolic object, a decorative highlight, or a valuable collector's piece for lovers of fine stone carving.

An extraordinary one-of-a-kind piece full of expressiveness and natural elegance.
