With a height of 60.5 cm and a width of 39.5 cm, this object possesses rare, floor-filling proportions. The statue is entirely handcrafted from a single solid block of high-density hardwood (monolithic heartwood), which is immediately palpable in its heavy weight of no less than 7.1 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Buddha displays a syncretic, indigenous Balinese-Javanese folk style and is depicted in the iconic \u003cem\u003eBhumisparsha mudra\u003c\/em\u003e.

The monk's robe (\u003cem\u003eSanghati\u003c\/em\u003e) is meticulously hand-painted on the back in a deep, madder-red hue with traditional, flowing \u003cstrong\u003eBatik Parang\/Sawat\u003c\/strong\u003e scrollwork – a motif historically associated with royal dignity and spiritual power.
