This Buddha Head highlights the artist's refined craftsmanship, as he transformed the semi-precious gem into a masterpiece. Labradorite stone is famous all over the world for its fascinating colours and beauty.  This Buddha radiates in magnificent colours of deep blue and green when exposed to light. Buddha head sculptures are known to represent the vast wealth of knowledge possessed by the awakened one. Artist Ram Kumar portrays Shakyamuni Buddha with his eyes  semi-closed, in a state of deep contemplation. His elongated ears reflect on the Buddha’s wealthy past, as he wore heavy jewellery being a Prince. It is also a common Buddhist characteristic that symbolises wisdom.

ABOUT LABRADORITE

Beyond the beautiful form and features of this Buddha head is the mystical nature of the Labradorite gemstone. Labradorite is a celebrated stone, used for centuries by healers and shamans around the world for its powerful protective and healing properties, as well as its ability to heighten intuition and psychic abilities. Labradorite strengthens the aura and guards our bioenergetic field from negative energy. It is also a gem commonly used for spiritual guidance as it strengthens our "sixth sense" and intuition. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST - RAM KUMAR

Ram Kumar is the artist behind some of our most incredible masterpieces here at Mystik River. Ram Kumar’s sculptures are inspired by Indian and Tibetan Gods and Goddesses. Following on from his father Mr. Hanuman and grandfather, both accomplished artists in their time, Ram has continued the family tradition.

Working predominantly with semi-precious stones and high grade crystals, his work focuses on Tibetan Buddha figures and Indian gods as Ganesh, Shiva, Buddha, Laxmi and Tibetan Tara. His sculptures radiate grace and elegance as he mixes his art with some very high grade semi-precious gemstones such as Labradorite, Tiger’s Eye, Rose Quartz and Clear Quartz Crystal. His ability to refine the natural beauty of crystals and gems in his sculptures is unlike anything you will experience.
