NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, c.563-c.483 B.C.; b. Lumbini modern-day Nepal. It is said that a fortune-teller divined that Siddhartha Gautama would become a teacher of the world. At age 29, Siddhartha left his wealthy family in pursuit of the truth. After six years, Siddhartha had the religious epiphanies on which Buddhism is based. In short, a wholesome existence guided by the right understanding, the right thinking, the right speech, the right conduct, the right livelihood, the right effort, the right mindfulness, and the right concentration releases one from the painful cycle of life and death. Today, hundreds of millions of people follow his philosophies of compassion and detachment. Artisan Info: "My name is Wayan Kandiyasa and I was born on October 5, 1964 on the island of Bali. I come from a family of artists - my father is also a stone carver, who was taught by my grandfather. "I make statues and relief work from a stone called paras. I like both traditional and modern styles. I first started to learn at the age of nine with my father, beginning with cleaning and finishing the statues he would make. At the age of thirteen I could already make small statues on my own. At that time, and even now, my inspiration comes to me when I am most relaxed and quiet. An image comes to me and I start to work as calmly as possible, trying to keep the original idea

Beautiful, beautiful statue. Purchased for a bridal shower gift and it came wrapped in authentic style with a bamboo figure for a "bow". Very well received by the bride and admired by other guests. It will be cherished in their home (or yard) for many years. Great workmanship, beautiful styling. Good size. Beautiful face.
