Hello, this item is a contemporary carved sculpture of the seated Buddha, crafted from green jasper gemstone and weighing approximately 12 kg. The statue measures 32 cm in length, 13 cm in width, and 40 cm in height. It depicts the Buddha in meditation posture atop a rocky pedestal with detailed lotus motifs, rendered in a highly polished finish typical of hardstone decorative objects. The carving was reportedly completed over two years by a local master artisan and remains in 95% preserved condition, with no apparent damage visible in the photographs.

This work is not an antique religious icon but rather a modern artisanal object designed for display and spiritual or decorative use. Green jasper, while not a precious material, is valued for its hardness, polishability, and vibrant tones. The size, weight, and degree of detail elevate its value above standard souvenir-grade items. On the contemporary decorative art market, such pieces typically range in value between $800 and $1,500 depending on the quality of the gemstone and craftsmanship.
