Overview
This paired duo of cast bronze Buddha sculptures offers a refined accent for Zen, Wabi-Sabi, and curated ethnographic interior spaces. Designed for desktop placement, meditation altars, or bookshelf vignettes, the contrasting dark patina and verdigris finishes complement traditional Asian, modern minimalist, and bohemian decorative themes.
