The attention to detail in the folds of the robe and the lotus petals of the base reflects skilled artistry and reverence for the subject. Such statues are commonly used as objects of worship or inspiration, encouraging mindfulness, tranquility, and spiritual growth for observers or practitioners.

How do you take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by the Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face.
• Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
