Shakyamuni Statue Gold Plated 8"

A beautiful 8 inch tall, gold plated statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the source of Dharma in this world. Siddartha Guatama attained ultimate realization beneath the Bodhi tree in Saranath, India. From that point on, he became known as Shakyamuni Buddha. Here, he is sitting in meditation for all beings. His right hand is in the earth-touching mudra, and in his left hand is an alms bowl. This statue can be opened for consecration. A statue of a Buddha is a continuous reminder of the Buddha within us. Height: Approximately 8" (7.85") Weight: 2 lbs. 9 oz. Please note:       Items over $200 need to have extra insurance as USPS and Shopify only automatically insure shipments up to $200. Extra insurance prices range from $.89 (for shipments up to $300 value) to $17 (for shipments that cost $2000). If you purchase an item that is over $200, you will receive an invoice for a shipping insurance fee. Again, these fees are generally very small- usually a dollar or two at most. In these situations, you can still change or cancel you order at that point if you would like to. We are always willing to help, however you need.        Shipping insurance only covers the item’s damage or loss while the shipping agent has possession of the item, i.e. pick up, transit, and delivery. Once the item has been delivered to the residence, damage and loss are not covered. If you feel that your residence is unsafe for porch delivery, please make a note at checkout or email us, and we can request a signature upon delivery. There will be a $3.70 charge from USPS for that service. Thank you for your understanding, and for supporting the Dharma.
