Your link to google lens results doesn't work as intended. I get to see the standard google homepage.

 

Save some necks:

 

It is a very nice Buddha on a lotus throne, recently made in Bali, Indonesia.

 

Forgot to say, the wood is teak, probably from neighbouring East Java.

 

Sorry........ ( how Canadian !! ..)
Google lens has a new look for me...... so maybe the links don't work the same.

 

not Albesia wood..????

 

New or old,that is gorgeous and Id gladly give it room.

 

Agree modern. VERY well carved for modern. If it’s as big as it looks I think $125 was a steal. As a whole it achieves the serenity it was striving for and that’s worth $. Nice pick up.

 

These are sold as teak wood and look like it to me. Albesia is mostly used for lower quality small carvings (because it splits easily) as well as painted and stained carvings.

 

The one below is lacquered albesia (suar). As you can see it is nowhere near OPs quality. The size isn't mentioned, but it is probably smaller too.
