Jade carvings of fantastic animals date back thousands of years and include representations of mythical creatures from Chinese as well as other cultures including Greek, Roman, and the Mid East. Many of these early carvings had sacred meanings and were included as ancient burial offerings. Chinese craftsmen have continued to use these motifs for hundreds, if not thousands of years. We purchased these statues as antiques but, with jade, which does not show age, there is no easy way to know how old they actually are. What we can say is that they are beautiful cultural relics, hand crafted from one of the worlds most colorful mineral treasures. Maybe the one you purchase will turn out to be one of the Neolithic artifacts worth millions… Well, we can dream.

Jade is cool to the touch and rings like iron when tapped. For 5,000 years jade has been shaped by abraiding with water and sand. It is the second strongest mineral next to diamond and was once considered more valuable than gold in the Orient.

The peace and quiet happiness of Buddha adds joy to your home. Siddhartha Gautama was a spiritual teacher in the northern region of the Indian subcontinent who founded Buddhism. He is generally seen by Buddhists as the Supreme Buddha of our age. The time of his birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians date his lifetime from c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE.

Gautama, also known as akyamuni(“sage of the Shakyas”), is the key figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. Various collections of teachings attributed to Gautama were passed down by oral tradition, and first committed to writing about 400 years later.
