Sukhotai Earth Witness
Buddha Calling the Earth to WitnessBhumisparsamudra - the right hand lowered with the palm turned inward - records the triumph of Thorani, mother goddess of the earth, over the patron of worldly vanities, the demonic Mara, whose mustache, weapons and aristocratic rank invariably smack of the masculine. The mythical rejection of the patriarchal order and identification of enlightenment with the autochthonous earth goddesses of matrilineal south-east Asia perhaps explains the near universal popularity of this icon in Theravada countries such as Thailand, Burma and Laos.
Wood Eastern Serenity’s carved wood products come from environmentally friendly tropical wood. Tropical Thai wood is the perfect material for all the wood products you will find here at Eastern Serenity. The wood used is fumigated and oven-dried to ensure pest removal and provide weather resistance. Each item is hand carved using traditional techniques passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Appropriately sized pieces of wood are used to minimize waste. The basic shape is carved using large chisels and block hammers, the sculpture becoming increasingly more defined as the finer details are then carved into the wood piece using detailing tools, fine sanding, and intricate brushwork. This attention to detail creates a piece that will add its unique presence to any environment.
