Set of Three Crying Yogi or Weeping Buddha Statues

This set consists of three artisanal figurines depicting the 'Crying Yogi' or 'Weeping Buddha,' a recurring motif in Indonesian and Southeast Asian folk art. Each figurine is carved in a spherical, hunched position with the figure's head buried in their hands, symbolizing the taking on of the world's collective sorrow. The statues vary in color and material composition: the far-left figure exhibits a deep, reddish-brown mahogany finish with high-gloss highlights, suggesting a polished hardwood or a resin composite with a lacquer coating. The center figure appears more weathered with a matte, textured finish in an earthy brown tone. The figure on the right is of a lighter, beige or tan wood, potentially representing a natural sandalwood or teak before heavy finishing. In terms of construction, the figurines are compact, likely measuring between 3 to 5 inches in height. The craftsmanship features stylized anatomy with emphasized back muscles and folded limbs. Notable condition issues include visible surface abrasions on the center figure and what appears to be dust accumulation or minor finish wear on the polished surfaces. There are no immediate maker's marks visible in the provided image, but the style is characteristic of late 20th-century Balinese woodcarving. The quality varies across the set, with the leftmost piece showing the highest degree of finish and light reflection, indicating a well-executed decorative item.
