Stone carvings offer so many shadows. I love the effect of the hair on that praying figure. Here is a picture of another kind of religious stone work: lagiraffa.blog/2018/08/23/bohemian-rhapsody/ Thanks for the challenge and community, as always!

Hi there, I certainly had this challenge in mind when I took these photos in Auburn recently of the colossal statues. https://bulldogtravels.com/2018/08/13/odd-colossal-auburn-statuary/

I have an old stone Buddha in the basement. It is so heavy, I can’t move it upstairs and the other day, Owen asked me where I would put it uf HE moved it. I was stumped. So it’s still in the basement.
Yours is beautiful!
