Rochard Buddha Limoges Box with Removable Gold Lotus
Seated in calm meditation, the Buddha makes a serene subject for a figurine box, and here he comes with a small gold lotus that lifts away as its own accent. This Rochard piece is hand-painted porcelain, made in Limoges, France.
The Lotus and the Stillness
In Buddhist art the lotus rises clean from muddy water, a symbol of awakening and purity. Rochard paired that flower with the figure, in gold, as a removable piece that can rest on the lid or sit beside the box. The Buddha himself forms the box, so the whole body of the porcelain carries the peaceful expression of the subject.
A Quiet Corner Companion
This is a piece for a meditation nook, a yoga studio shelf, a reading table or a study where calm is welcome. It suits a collection of Asian art, spiritual figures or temple souvenirs, and it is a gentle present for a new practice, a retirement, or someone moving into a new home who wants a peaceful start.
