BUDDHA STATUE, Wood w/ Antique Bronze Finish 12.5" Bali

This auction is for a beautiful wooden statue of the Buddha. It is carved from a solid block of wood, and painted with a special custom "antique bronze" finish. This beautiful sculpture is about 12.5 inches tall, 9.25 inches across, and 4 inches deep. It was hand carved and painted in Bali by master artisans. Winning bidder will receive the exact item that you see in the photos, not a copy. More pictures are listed below. Already imported, ships from U.S.

I have not seen a statue with this type of finish offered anywhere else, but if you were somehow able to find one like this in a store, you could expect the retail price to be about $120. I travel to Bali myself to choose the pieces that I sell on eBay. I go to the artists' villages to get the best choice, and to deal directly with the artists instead of the middlemen in the tourist towns. This benefits the artists and their families, and also allows me to sell at a lower price than my competition. I offer a money-back, 100% satisfaction guarantee, and I have over 2000 satisfied customers, without a negative comment from anyone ever. So you may feel confident buying from me, I take customer satisfaction very seriously, and I back all of my auctions with my iron-clad money-back guarantee.

This piece has an amazing custom paint job, starting with a base coat of black, and then dusted with tiny metallic bronze and gold flecks. It has been sealed with a protective clear coat to prevent the color from getting rubbed off. The result is a subtly sparkling, aged metallic look, similar to an antique bronze with a deep patina. Please click on a few of the pictures to see the full sized images, so you can appreciate the amazing detail of this finish.

This statue would add a peaceful presence to a meditation or study area, yoga room, bedroom, living room, dorm room, therapy room, or office. It would also make a nice centerpiece for an altar. It is said that having an image of the Buddha in your environment helps bring a sense of peace and calm. A piece like this would certainly enhance the energy of any space where you may choose to place it.

ITEM CONDITION: PLEASE READ: This statue is in excellent condition, it is completely intact. No chips, cracks, or other visible damage. Please look closely at the pictures, I have tried to photograph the statue accurately. This sculpture is a great example of the skill of the Balinese woodcarvers, and a loving tribute to the Buddha. Thanks for looking, and good luck!
