Everything about it is still except the sleeves.

The figure is seated and settled, hands brought together at the chest, eyes almost closed. Then the robe sweeps out sideways to nearly twice his width, the sleeve edges curling up at the tips, as though he turned a moment ago and the cloth has not caught up. Stillness is easy to sculpt and movement is not. This one has both at once.

The face is a child's. Full cheeks, eyes down, the beginning of a smile rather than a grin.

The novice monk stands for the beginner and not the master, which is the more useful thing to keep on a desk when you are still learning yourself.

Two versions, and they differ by more than colour. The pale stone one holds both palms together in anjali, the gesture of respect. The yellow one has a hand raised and the other extended, which is the gesture of reassurance and of giving.

The clay is left matte and grainy through the robe, with the head, hands and sleeve linings in a darker unglazed body. Nothing glossy anywhere, so it reads as carved stone rather than as a china ornament.

For a desk that is already stressful enough. This one is not asking you to sit up straight.

Where to place a baby monk statue

Desk, shelf, tea table or entryway. Somewhere it catches light from the side, because the sleeves need a shadow under them to read properly. Ceramic belongs to the earth element in feng shui and is placed for steadiness rather than for luck.

Ceramic chips, so keep it back from an edge, and a soft cloth is all it needs. The sleeve tips are the thinnest part and the first thing that will catch on something.

Where To Use It?

A Story in Every Piece

Frequently asked questions

What if my statue arrives damaged?

Send us a photo within 7 days of delivery and we will replace it or refund you. Every piece is wrapped and boxed in protective packaging before it leaves us.

How big is it?

Check the Specifications on this page for measurements in centimetres and inches. Most of our statues are desk and shelf sized, between 10 and 20 cm tall. Each one is finished by hand, so allow 1 to 2 cm of variation.

Will the colour match the photos?

Closely, but not exactly. Clay and stone are natural materials and every statue is finished by hand, so tone and texture vary a little from piece to piece.

Can I keep it outdoors?

We recommend indoors. Unglazed clay can fade in direct sun, and sandstone is porous, so rain and soil will mark it. If you do place one outside, choose a sheltered spot away from sun and rain.

How do I clean it?

Dust it with a soft dry cloth or brush. Avoid soap and soaking, which unglazed clay absorbs. Glazed pieces can be wiped with a damp cloth.
