This ivory-coloured Buddha Head pendant is exquisitely detailed, oval in shape and featuring a serene sculptural depiction of the Buddha’s face that embodies calm, balance and inner awareness. The expression is peaceful and harmonious, with gently closed, downcast eyes symbolizing meditation, compassion and spiritual reflection. The nose is straight and refined, and the lips form a faint, calm smile - sometimes called the “Buddha smile” - conveying tranquility and contentment. The ears are long and elongated, a traditional symbol of wisdom and the Buddha’s past life as a prince who wore heavy earrings. The finely sculpted symmetry enhances its tranquil presence, making it both meaningful and visually striking.
This Buddha head is framed by a solid brass rim with a thickness of 5.6mm (0.56 cm / 0.22”), accented by striations along the outer border that add texture and depth. The warm brass setting beautifully complements the soft ivory tone of the Buddha's face, creating an attractive contrast.
