Under it is a double lotus base, its petals worked in two tiers, cast as part of the same piece rather than added to it. Everything is high-clarity colourless resin, so the folds are read as changes of thickness and the whole figure carries no colour of its own beyond what stands behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDeep Robe Folds Read Through a Colourless Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep folds and clear material pull in opposite directions. A fold is a change of thickness, and thickness in clear resin is tone, so a robe modelled for an opaque figure comes out of a clear mould as a set of grey bands with no drawing in them. The folds here are cut shallower than they look and set at a steeper angle, which reads as depth without going cloudy. The lotus is the other exercise: two tiers of petals with undercuts between them, which a rigid mould cannot release, so the base is formed in a flexible tool and the petal edges are worked back by hand afterward. The face is polished last and to a finer grade than the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seated figure at this height suits a low surface more than a high one: a console, a wide shelf, or a stone block on the floor where it can be looked at from above rather than up at. It reads best with quiet space round it and something plain behind - a busy wall passes straight through the clear body and takes the robes with it. Light from one side finds the folds; light from directly in front loses them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBase Depth, Tint and Where a Seated Figure Sits Best\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. The lotus base can be taken deeper or shallower, or dropped for a plain cushion, and the figure is offered in a smoke, an amber or a jade-toned tint as well as colourless. Size is cut to order and this design has been made both for a shelf and at hall scale. A frosted finish is available where a polished one throws too much light. It travels as one piece in a fitted crate, packed upright, and is a two-person lift at this size. Nothing is assembled and nothing needs fixing down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Buddha seated on a double lotus belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; robes read as changes of thickness lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a quiet figure for a meditation corner joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Clarity Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017123320155,"sku":"R012","price":6547.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R012.jpg?v=1791304040","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-seated-buddha-on-a-lotus-cast-resin-sculpture-62cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
