I wanted a happy fat Buddha for a garden I am planning. Most of the statues I found, while charming, were far too small for an outdoor setting. And if I found a larger one, it cost hundreds of dollars! This chubby, happy Buddha is of substantial size without a matching price tag. He was a great value, and even more handsome "in person". I am eager to find him an appropriate home in my garden. He makes me smile every time I look at him. Namaste!
