Say Tian Hng Buddha Shop
"Established in 1840, Say Tian Hng Buddha Shop is a 6th-generation heritage business that still crafts and restores statues of Taoist and Buddhist deities by hand, using techniques dating back to the early Qing Dynasty. Here, you will find wooden statues of fearsome warlords and fair maidens, drunken monks and steely-faced magistrates, rebellious serpents and filial parrots - all characters from ancient Chinese mythology - some as large as a chair, some as small as an iPhone. Behind each statue is an ancient story, and a life value that has endured through the centuries. We ship internationally."
