Jade Buddhas are some of the
most decorative items one
can place in house, a real
eye catcher and the others
also immediately want a
similar statue.
The little
problem will be the price
since below around $ 2000,-
there are no real good carved
Jade Buddha statues.

A Buddha statue
represents peace and wealth,
that's one of the reasons
its so popular Jade
Buddhas come in all variants, sizes,
forms and colors and are only very
seldom made from Chinese jade, today
they come made from jadeite which is
the better type of jade, usually
jadeite come from northern Myanmar
and is often smuggled into China and
Thailand.
Beside
of statues, images, sculptures,
figurines, there are pendants, beautiful
piece of carved jade and very
affordable. With many of this items
Buddha peace is the idea.

Sometimes a laughing Buddha
or other sculpture are encrusted with
gold and rubies
to give a very
special and expensive touch. |

Chinese have somehow a
mystic connection with Jade,
a symbol for good, pure and
noble and on top of that is
a great jadeite Buddha. Several
cultures used Jade for
different purposes such as
Mayas and Olmecs in the
Americas but nowhere has
this green stone so deeply
rooted as in Chinese culture
Ornamental Jade plaques,
today we have Jade pendants,
have been detected up to
around 7000 years back in
excavations of the Hsing
Lumg culture in Inner
Mongolia.
Over time statues where
placed inside temples and
jadeite Buddhas appeared.
The Jade Buddha Temple in
Shanghai is probably the
|
Reclining Buddha
|
|
most famous, built in 1882,
destroyed in 1911 and
rebuilt in 1928. Two white
Buddha statues are still
there, they are crafted from
Myanmar Jade and
have been imported from the
country long time ago, in
this temple there is no
reclining Buddha, But its
Chinese craftsmanship with
is probably of the best
quality in terms of carving
and sculpturing which brings
jade to “life”.
