About the Item
Unique on 1stdibs and possibly worldwide.
It was in the early 20th century that meditation became known in Western society. Like many artists, the one who handcrafted the sculptures that were used to create these bookends probably traveled through Indonesia or India. These creative minds came back full of inspiration of all they had witnessed, because certainly back then, they entered a whole new world. The meditating males on these marble based bookends are made of silvered brass and the artist perfectly captured their serene faces, their turban head wear and their relaxed bodies. Sitting with their minds at rest and with their consciousness in the entire body or possibly focussed on breathing only, they would certainly arouse interest with western travelers. Most people in Western society today (still) will never become aware of the peace and calm that is in each and everyone and behind the worried and over-active mind. However, if you are into meditation then you will understand and appreciate these unique and beautiful work-of-art-bookends and they could be gracing your home soon.
Mind you, our fair price also includes perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
