6 Very Old Carved Figures of Buddhist Immortals

These lovely statues date from the 18th/19th Century, each one is carved from a single piece of wood, the garments are carved in fine detail, the Deities have their hands held in different gestures.

The painted finish has mostly faded with age but it still shows signs of a much brighter past with hints of Gold, Green and Red

The Statues are 32” tall and about 9” in Diameter

FAQs

Carved Buddhist figures represent monks, arhats, or immortals created for personal devotion, temples, or shrines across East and South Asia. These carved wooden representations feature traditional drapery, symbolic hand gestures, and expressive facial features reflecting regional sculptural styles.

Traditional statues were carved from local timbers such as camphor, elm, or pine. The carved wood was frequently coated with a gesso base layer before being painted with polychrome pigments or detailed with gold leaf gilding.

Authenticity is evaluated by inspecting tool marks from hand carving, natural shrinkage and cracking along the wood grain, and realistic surface wear. Genuine aged pieces display uneven paint loss, natural oxidisation, and surface patination that synthetic distressing cannot easily replicate.

Sculptural figures bring tactile warmth and architectural height when styled on console tables, within deep window sills, or along open shelving. Arranging figures in small groupings creates a focal point against neutral walls or textured backdrops.

Dust figures gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush to avoid lifting delicate painted gesso flakes. Keep carved timber items away from direct sunlight, central heating vents, and high humidity to prevent splitting or paint deterioration.
