Shakyamuni Buddha Statue 8.6" Tall Ceramic Home Meditating Decor, Shakyamuni Budda Statue Decoration Indoor/Outdoor with Chinese Gift Box(RED)

To my surprise, this is absolutely beautiful. I say surprised because I have been disappointed many times by poorly made ceramics from international sellers.There's nothing like a well done Thai-inspired ceramic Buddha and this does not disappoint!Here’s what I think deserves five stars:—The sculpture is presented in a beautiful brocade covered box with a lock. Talk about a wowza gift! I am not gifting this however, as I have a spot in my peaceful shower room where it will live.—Once out of the box I held it in my hands and was so delighted with the glaze and finishing. The “red” is like a terracotta or deep ochre, similar to colors found in monastic robes worn by Buddhist monks. It has a matte glaze that reminds me of raku. The white is a beautiful high fired classic blanc de chine, and it is smooth as silk. There’s not one little spot that is rough or unfinished. And with all the small details, including the fingers, this is hard to do. Even the underside is perfectly finished with no sloppy applied glaze.—It’s the perfect size for a counter, small table, or anywhere really that you want to be reminded of peace and serenity.It does come with three tiny little sacred objects, just in case you want to add these into a tableau. I find them a bit too small to really use. But I appreciated the “extra mile.”Well done is all I can say. I’m very very pleased.

This is a good quality seated Buddha statue in the dhyana mudra or meditation posture. It comes with three objects--alms bowl, lotus flower and pagoda to be held in the hands, but these are lower-quality than the statue. In addition to meditation, this style Buddha is said to cure disease and deflect bad karma. I haven't noticed any health or fate improvements, but it's attractive anyway.

This is really beautiful from the packaging to the statue itself. It comes beautifully wrapped in a gorgeous and very solid box. The three extra talismans are a nice touch but don’t quite fit in the hands correctly but no biggie. This is a great addition to my collection.

Love this – great quality / size and weight – no issues at all.
