If you’re looking for a Buddha statue for a meditation space, or just to add a little mindfulness as home decor, there are many styles and sizes available in both wood and stone to suit all budgets.  The Buddha's hand mounted on a black stand (below left) is in a gesture with the index finger and thumb making a circle, signifying teaching and giving religious instruction and makes an elegant ornament. The seated Buddha in cast bronze (middle right below) is one of our most popular items - back in stock soon in time for Christmas.

 Buddha sculptures make lovely gifts and help to bring a sense of calm to a living space
