Buddhist Monk from Thailand
One of nine revered monks from Thailand, this small replica (7" x 5") caught our eye. The resin that he is made of was so authentically molded that you feel he is alive. In the temples of Thailand, life-size statues of the most respected monks sit. When we saw this one in a store in Bangkok, we knew we had to acquire him. Our immediate thought was that he would speak to us. When others have seen him without prompting, they will say the same thing. He is dressed in the typical monk attire with a shaven head. He is a conversation piece, for sure. As with all of our pieces, we purchase 1 or 2 that we feel are special.
We do not buy in bulk. They are thoughtfully chosen and unique. While shopping in many stores, we did not see these delicately crafted monks. For us, it was a true find.
Floral Arrangement from Thailand
The altar decorations in the temples in Thailand are outstanding. The flower arrangements are oversized and colorful and look lifelike, but they are made of resin. They last forever. This 8" x 6" piece is a miniature replica. It’s adorned in white, green and pink. Lovely flower arrangements for all ages. We found it in a small shop in Bangkok, where no 2 pieces were the same.
Bronze Horse from Greece
In a small art store on the island of Mykonos, we came across this bronze and glass horse. It’s 12" long, 9" high, & weighs 2 lbs. Its sleek body with a green glass center is a contemporary design that will be a conversation starter when your guests visit. It can bring to mind historical and futuristic images and be fun to ponder. This figure is a one of a kind, made by a local artist. We are sure that you will love displaying it.
