Hand-carved walnut-toned wooden monk statue on a platform base. Features a somber, prayerful expression with closed eyes, tonsured hair, and a parted flowing beard. The monk holds an open book to his chest, wears a robe with long, graceful sleeves, a robe belt, prayer beads, and a crucifix. Toes peek out from the robe's hem; a long hood drapes down his back. A finely detailed piece reflecting devotion and craftsmanship.
