This oriental-style jacquard composition from the 19th century presents Buddha in meditative repose, seated within an ornate shell backdrop surrounded by flourishing flower beds that create a paradise garden setting. The imagery reflects the European fascination with Eastern spirituality and decorative arts that characterized the colonial period, when such exotic motifs entered Western textile traditions through cultural exchange and artistic interpretation. Measuring 67 x 50 cm in portrait orientation, this compact piece delivers concentrated spiritual symbolism suitable for contemplative spaces where Eastern philosophy and European craftsmanship unite. The shell motif adds maritime elements that suggest the oceanic journeys through which such cultural influences traveled, while the floral abundance represents the earthly paradise associated with enlightened consciousness. Crafted from 72% cotton, 25% viscose, and 3% polyester with cotton lining, this work demonstrates how Flemish weaving techniques adapted to accommodate non-European subject matter. Alternative versions without figures are available upon request for those preferring purely decorative botanical elements. This piece appeals to collectors of orientalist art and those seeking meditative focal points that honor both Eastern spiritual traditions and the historical context of cultural artistic exchange through European textile interpretation.
