Buddha Statues – Enlightenment and Reflection in Bronze, Wood and Stone

A perfectly sculpted Buddha statue transcends religion, art, and materials to embody a unique ideology, peace, serenity and beauty. With typical sizes ranging in from less than a pound to several hundred pounds, these sculptures create a remarkable presence in any room, yard, or museum—whether as an object d’art or as an expression of religious significance. Buddha statues of old were created out of stone, bronze and wood and many were gilded with gold. As Buddhism spread across the Middle and Far East, the statues evolved stylistic differences in each of the countries, regions and cultures it influenced.

Beautiful Statues Originating from Thailand, China, Japan, Burma and more

Extremely valuable Buddha statues come from all geographic, cultural, and chronological divisions of the Buddhist religion. In Korea, most Buddha statues come from the Three Kingdoms period, the Silla Kingdom and the Goryeo period (4th century to the 14th century); in China, from the Later Han, 3 Kingdom and Western Chin Periods through the Sui and T’ang dynasties, and up to the Song Dynasty (about the 2nd century to the 13th century). It was in China that the Fat Buddha (or Laughing Buddha) originated. As for Thailand, there have been Thai Buddha statues since the founding of the first Thai sovereign state in the 12th century, right through to the present, as it is and has always been a Buddhist country. Since the 6th century in Japan, Buddhism has shared the stage with that country’s indigenous religion of Shinto and today, as much as 85% of the population considers itself Buddhist. Beautiful Japanese Buddha statues continue to be readily available on the market today.
