Details

The Making

Warm white marble — quarry-selected for its soft, almost luminous tone. Carving depth varies to create shadows that shift through the day.

Artisanship

Variable-depth hand carving. Devotional art for homes, not temples. Meant to be lived with, not observed from a distance. The lacquer seal protects while keeping the stone tactile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Ksitigarbha shown as a monk rather than a crowned bodhisattva?

Ksitigarbha is unique among major bodhisattvas — he's depicted as a simple monk with a shaved head, staff, and wish-fulfilling jewel. This reflects his vow to work in the hell realms until every being is saved, appearing in humble form to meet beings where they are.

I want to collect a set of bodhisattvas. Do these match in size and style?

Yes — Ksitigarbha (MM-MR-020), Mahasthamaprapta (MM-MR-010), Samantabhadra (MM-MR-011), and Manjushri (MM-MR-012) all share the same inner panel size (100x150mm) and identical craftsmanship. They look cohesive displayed together as a series. Order separately or contact us for a set discount.

What is marble lacquer? Is it real marble?

Yes — it's a solid natural marble slab (not resin, not composite). The carving is hand-incised by master artisans, then finished with 7+ coats of traditional Chinese raw lacquer — the same material used for millennia on Chinese lacquerware. The lacquer seals and protects the stone while giving it a warm, deep luster that never yellows.

How fragile is it? Will it survive international shipping?

Each panel ships in a custom double-layered crate: a foam-lined inner box suspends the marble, and a reinforced plywood outer crate absorbs impact. We've shipped hundreds worldwide with less than 0.5% damage rate. Free replacement if yours arrives damaged.

How do I hang it on the wall?

Each panel comes with pre-installed heavy-duty hanging hardware (two D-rings with wire, tested up to 30kg / 66lbs). You'll need a standard wall anchor rated for 15kg+ (not included). We recommend a 2-person lift for panels over 600mm wide.

How do I clean and maintain a marble lacquer panel?

Dust gently with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, lightly dampen with water — no soap, no chemicals, no abrasive cleaners. Keep out of direct UV sunlight for prolonged periods. The lacquer finish is UV-stable, but natural stone pigments can fade over decades in direct sun.

Is each piece handmade or mass-produced?

Each piece is individually hand-carved. No two are identical — the natural marble veining, the artisan's tool marks, and the lacquer application all create subtle variations. You're buying a genuine original, not a factory reproduction.
