Buddha statues
Serene meditation sculptures
Buddha statues are sculptural representations of the Buddha, found in temples, gardens, homes, and meditation spaces throughout the world.
They depict the Buddha in various poses—seated in meditation, reclining at death, standing with hand raised—each pose carrying specific symbolic meaning.
In Western contexts, Buddha statues often serve as decorative objects suggesting calm or Eastern spirituality: She put a Buddha statue in her yoga studio.
The statues range from tiny figurines to monumental works like the Great Buddha of Kamakura.
