heart statues

Cradling a swan that represents peace on earth, Buddha meditates on a lotus blossom, itself a symbol of peace and love. They are skillfully depicted on the draped fold of the master's robe. Carved by hand of kadam wood, the sculpture form Suresh and Devender Garg is polished to a glowing sheen. This extraordinary image transcends time and space with noble sentiment.

Buddha lets out a hearty laugh as he celebrates happiness and prosperity. In his raised hands he holds golden ingots and in his excitement, his robes reveal his big belly. Made Mulyani works with seasoned acacia wood to carve this statuette with admirable Chinese stylizations. According to Buddhist practices, this representation of Buddha is believed to augur happiness and prosperity.
