It is a beautiful wooden statue of Buddha, hand carved from a solid block of tropical suar wood by a master Balinese woodcarver. This magnificent statue is crowned by a stunning dichroic glass cabochon inlaid into the third eye, an exclusive customization done specifically for trader.mac. The statue sits an impressive 21 inches inches tall, 15 inches wide, and 8.5 inches deep. Already imported, ships from U.S. You are bidding on the actual item shown here. Please scroll down for more pictures. This statue is absolutely outstanding. Fabulously large and impressive, it is my showcase piece for this sales cycle. The lucky winner of this auction will receive the exact item that you see pictured here. (Some sellers only show you "stock" photos instead of the actual item they will send you. So read the item descriptions carefully when shopping! But here, you are bidding on the exact item shown.) Please note the extraordinary detail on the face, hands, and robes. This is the sign of a true master carver. I am running very low on Buddha statues, and once they are gone, I will not be getting any more. I have saved this one for one of my last to sell, because it is one of my favorites. The carving is exquisite, and the dichroic glass is absolutely lovely. Don't miss your opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind piece of spiritual art. Since this piece was so outstanding, I chose it to receive a special custom enhancement. Inlaid into the third eye is a stunning cabochon of dichroic glass. This was done only by special personal arrangements that I made with certain artists in Bali, making this piece absolutely unique in the world. You will never see another Buddha statue like this one. The dichroic glass third-eye cabochon sparkles with a lovely muted gold color, which has slight tinges of red and purple when viewed under certain lighting conditions. The hues seem to change and shift when viewed from different angles. The pictures really do not do it justice, but please look at some of the close-up shots to get an idea of the beauty of this piece. Retail price for this statue would be in the range of at least $700 or higher. (If you were even able to find another one like it.) I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee: if you are not delighted, you may return it for a full refund. I am showing you the exact item that you are bidding on, and I ship from the U.S. Also please check my feedback rating: I have over 2000 satisfied customers, without a negative comment from anyone ever. Everything I sell is backed by my 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not delighted, you may return it within 14 days for a full refund. So you may bid with confidence, I take customer satisfaction very seriously. This is a really amazing, masterfully carved, one of a kind hand-made spiritual artifact from an unique culture, and definitely NOT a mass-produced souvenir. Don't miss your chance to own this beautiful and unique piece of spiritual art. The wood is called suar wood, a beautiful tropical hardwood. Suar wood is a sustainable resource, and is renowned for woodcarving due to its rich color, fine grain, and superior resistance to cracking. This piece also displays the two-tone appearance that is common in suar, with the back of the Buddha being a much lighter shade than the rest. This is a natural quality of the wood. The Buddha's facial expression is calm and serene, with a slight smile. The fine grain pattern of the wood compliments the smooth contours of the face. Please click a few of the pictures to see the full-sized images. This is a fabulous Buddha, very large and expertly carved. Its unique character and appearance exude a powerful presence. It would make an excellent center piece for an altar, but it is sure to look impressive wherever you choose to place it. This is a hand-carved piece, so no other statue will ever look exactly like it. Please compare this Buddha's quality to others being offered on eBay and the web, I am certain that you will find this piece unsurpassed in beauty, workmanship, quality, and value. If you are looking for a truly impressive Buddha statue for your home or business, this is it. ITEM CONDITION: PLEASE READ: This statue is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or other visible damage. Please look closely at the pictures, I have tried to photograph the statue accurately. It is a beautiful work of art and a loving tribute to the Buddha. Don't pass up this opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind Buddha statue.

This allows you to make me an offer below the set price of an item. I will often accept a best offer IF: 1.) it is reasonable, 2.) I get it in time, and 3.) it is the highest offer that I get for the item.

Also please understand that once an item reaches its end time, all offers automatically expire. So please give me a reasonable amount of time to respond to an offer (at least 24 hours.) If the item that you are interested in is about to expire soon, chances are your offer will expire before I even see it.
