Item description

A statue of a weeping man made in Asia in the 20th century, probably due to exposure to the elements, the blackened wood has taken on this particular color. The legend of the crying man comes from the island of Java. He is a man so disappointed in the choices of the human race that he chooses a life of meditation. Humble and reserved man, his sacrifice is his offering.
