This carving has fine details  growing out of one piece of wood having a serine expressing with closed eyes, stylized eyebrows, and a splendid head with detailed carving representing his beard. His hooded cloak, (cowl) is suggested from the natural growth of the tree as it seems tightly wrapped on his back, neck and around his shoulders. This carving is made of a naturally dark and extremely dense wood with  his flowing robe that seems to be blowing in the wind brought about by the natural configuration of the tree. The irregularities  have been left in place, accentuating the rustic mood. All elements carved from and into the  wood are admirably done; however the remarkable face.

In this beautiful carving thoroughly merges with the natural form of a tree , half hidden by his rustic cloak.  

There are characters carved on bottom. Include in pictures.

He is absolutely gorgeous with his finely painted clothing.
