“Peaceful”

This artist?s sculptures are not only beautiful, but also bring me a feeling of peace when I hold them. I find myself reaching for this Buddha when I feel stressed. I have other works from this artist and I plan to buy more.

“Absolutely perfect!”

So lovely! Arrived quickly and beautifully packaged. Another reviewer mentioned the bottom wasnt flat. This was not the case with mine. It sits fine.

“Beautifully carved”

Its a beautiful addition to my Buddha collection, most of which I bought from you. Just one note the bottom isnt flat enough so it wobbles.
