Buddha statues

I am looking for a website or online store that sells Buddha statues. Wood, copper, bronze whatever it may be. I am looking for a center piece for my shrine. Thanks!

Dear BBB -- Not trying to dissuade the effort, but I think it would be better to meet your statue face to face, if possible.

Agreed. It would still be nice to have one though.

I was looking at this exact same one at a store here in town. What do yall think? Does anyone know what the bowl he is holding signifies? Also, i just noticed this site says it is a Foundation for the preservation of the Mahayana. Is this statue Mahayana then? How would you know the difference between a Mahayana buddha statue and a Theravada? Is there really any difference? Thanks.

Do you like it? Sorry I can't answer the questions, but if you like it, if it draws your attention, then I think that's enough.
