Here are some more information for Buddhism Statue Bronze:
One of the recent trends in home decorating is the influence of the Far East. With its simplicity and attention to space, this lends itself well to our hectic Western lifestyle. A lot of the elements of Asian home decorating can be trace back to two schools of thought, one originating from China and the other from Japan.
Feng Shui is a Chinese concept of space and object placement. Feng Shui associates the home with both health and prosperity. There are various rooms in which Feng Shui is more prevalent. The kitchen is one of them. Couple this perspective with the role of the kitchen as "the heart of the home," and you can see that any feng shui in this room can have a significant impact on your family. A few things you can try are to place Buddha statues at strategic places. Buddha statues are known to add vibrant chi power to your home. Especially the Laughing Buddha statue. Buddha statues can be made from various stones. Jade as well as bronze are the most popular choices. Quan Yin is the female version of Buddha.
Common Feng Shui gifts include Chinese dragons. These dragons are said not only to provide powerful chi energy, but also keep evil spirits from entering your home. For better wealth, riches and prosperity, one can turn to Chinese Feng Shui money frogs. These frogs are made from either jade or agate. They symbolize fortune and good luck with your hard work and clever mind. If you're looking for a healthier frame of body and mind, an Asian Feng Shui crystal globe might be your answer. This is one of the most commonly used cures and produces amazing results. When sunlight hits these crystals, beams of colored light radiate in all directions activating chi energy, and can also be used to slow down chi. Incidentally, various Asian animal figures such as jade horses can also be used to the same effect.
The Japanese perspective of home decorating and home furnishings is quite different. Rather than concentrate on objects to attract or repel energies, the Japanese focuses on spatial matters. It uses room dividers known as Shoji screens to separate form and function within a living space. A single Shoji screen can transform a dull square room into practical, attractive living areas. These oriental screens are often made with rice paper and can have vibrant colors or symbols. Some common designs are bamboo tree shoji screen, cherry blossom shoji screen or Geisha shoji screen. Light also plays a vital role in Japanese home design. Japanese lanterns are known for their boxy shape which reflects strength and substance. The thin rice paper allows ample light to shine through while displaying the intended images, much like the way silk paintings are. In fact, Japanese lanterns are sometime made from silk.

Hands resting on the lap symbolizes meditating buddha.Right hand touching the earth represents shakyamuni buddha, the enlightened one.

Newar artisans, Shakya Artisans to be specific are the original masters from whom the art is being descended for generations. Check out here for the buddha statues from Nepal.

Face is the single most important factor to look for while buying one.

Buddhists: Who is the Lady of the Lotus in Buddhism?
Also known as "Lady Buddha"? What does she represent? I have a bronze statue of her in my room and was told she represents the feminine side to Buddha, that she listened to the people and was very understanding. What else can you tell me about her?
Just looking for more information (preferably from Buddhists or at least open minded people who have studied Buddhism). What is the backstory of Lady Buddha?
(Please no Christian answers about Jesus, the Bible, and all that crap, don't want to hear it, go solicit elsewhere)
Bill J- shut the f*ck up, why don't you take your Bible sh*t up your a**?
As for the other two, thank you very much = )
Yes, that would be my Patroness, Kwan Yin, the Bodhisattvah of Mercy and Compassion. She is also the feminine embodyment of Avaloketashevaraya (Chenrezig in Tibet.) She is also knows as 'she who hears the cries of the world.'
Upon the day of her enlightenment, Kwan Yin was able to go to the Pure Land. As she ascended, she heard everyone she was leaving behind crying in despair. Their suffering in Samsara (cyclic existence) was so great it touched her beautiful heart. She swore to remain behind as a bodhisattvha to ease the suffering of the world.
Her mantra is om mani padme hum and namo kwan shin yi swo ha.
And to the person who didn't think Buddha was real. he was an actual person. I invite you to grab a history book and 'enlighten' yourself.
