buddhist statues

I am really happy for following my heart regarding this beautiful and excellently craft piece of art! I am myself inspired by the Buddhist spirituality, but the real motivation hasn't to do with me. Several years ago my mother and I visited China. We were at the site of the Great Wall. She couldn't walk and explore it with me because of her age and stayed behind in a shop with our guide. When I came back she said to me: I would like a Buddha figurine. I ignored her request at that moment and later forgot about it. When she died, for a long time that memory had been nagging me but I was pushing it to the back of my consciousness. I received the Buddha sculpture on my birthday, two days before her passing away five year ago. That's why I requested to write on the little greeting card (in Spanish): Mima, deseo cumplido (Mima, wish fulfilled). Thank you, Gung Gus, and also Novica, for helping me fulfill her desire and lighten my pain!

I love this art piece, and it is a great addition to my small collection. The wood is beautiful and blends well with my wooden trunk where I have it displayed. I have limited space, so the Buddha's mid size is perfect. I have one other piece by this artist, and the attention to detail is exquisite. I will treasure both for many years! It also was very carefully packed in many layers of paper to protect it during shipping.

This is a very nice hand made journal. The recipient loved it. Very beautiful paper and Buddha on the cover.
