Own your own masterpiece
Our customers acquire statues for many reasons, some for worship and some as works of culture and art.
We ship internationally via
1. Classic finish
This is the look that expresses all aspects of the traditional craft.
It features intricate relief motifs, life-like painted facial features, and a gilded finish complemented by robust primary colours.
2. Ash finish
This finish highlights the intricate charm of the relief motifs made from holy joss stick ashes.
An early Qing Dynasty craft technique, Qi Xian (thread sculpture / 漆线) involves the twirling and coiling of fine thread made with a secret family recipe from joss stick ash. After incense smoke carries one's prayers up to the gods, the ash that drops is collected to make the clothes of those very gods, in a beautiful cycle of virtue.
3. Wood finish
This features a cleaner Zen aesthetic where one or more parts of the statue with key symbolism relating to the deity’s origin story are gilded, to serve as a visual contrast and focal point.
