"May your life be filled with Longevity" Buddhist thought has long regarded animals as perceptive entities, capable of obtaining a sense of enlightenment. The turtle is considered a representation of endurance and longevity. Our Buddha Turtle is a perfect symbol for those who appreciate the spirit of zen, or those who simply love turtles! Cast in fine concrete, the Buddha turtle adds a mini dose of delight to desk or workspace - he's even safe for outdoors! Measuring just over 3" tall, the sculpture includes an integrated color pigment to create a consistent antique greystone color that will never flake or fade. Includes the Chinese characters for Longevity on the reverse of his robe, an appropriate marking for our shelled friend with a long life.
