Its verified height is 39 cm and its base measures 15 by 15 cm. Converted to inches, it stands 15.4 inches high with a 5.9 by 5.9 inch footprint. At 1,954 g, the verified weight is about 4.31 lb. The narrow base provides substantial height without requiring a wide display surface.Handmade variation: The photos show one individual sculpture. The piece you receive may vary noticeably in olive wood grain, color, and hand-carved details because each sculpture is made by hand from a different piece of natural wood.

Fine lines frame the face and beard, patterned borders define the robe, and the hands lead directly to the carved heart at the center. A lighter olive wood plinth sits above the darker base, separating the figure from the surface beneath it and giving the tall composition a steady visual foundation.
