The calm presence of the Standing Buddha is a representation of Lord Buddha standing straight and exuding compassion, enlightenment, and peace. The Standing Buddha represents courage, protection, and peace with one hand raised in the abhaya mudra (fearlessness) and the other hand at his side.
This type of Buddha statue is frequently connected to the time of his enlightenment or the lessons he imparted to his followers. The Standing Buddha encourages followers to develop inner serenity, knowledge, and compassion in their spiritual journeys, whether it is exhibited as a hallowed object of devotion or serves as a focus point for meditation.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
