    Veena Boonmee has been using Buddhism to express her artistic talents for seven years.

Each Buddha face is precisely hand carved over a month period on a very thick piece of acacia wood, leaving no detail uncovered. The purchase of this product will help artisans provide food and shelter to their communities as well as generate money to put their children through school.

Looks Good!

stovallas Nov 6, 2009

Great piece if you are trying to add that Zen look to your place. Took a while for the wood/stain smell to go away but overall I give it two thumbs up! Be aware that you will have to hang each panel from a metal piece attached to the top of the wood which is visible. Didn't bother me but some people might not like that set up. I'm sure your local hardware store can supply you with plenty of alternate hanging suggestions.

Serene ART piece

furbabymom from Seattle, WA, Oct 23, 2009

I love the "tone" of this piece and was very pleased to get it. Note: THERE ARE ACTUALLY 23.75" W. X 36" H, which is what I was hoping for (seemed to make sense given the ratio/size of the smaller version). Mine also had quite a lot of mold covering (all 3 of) the panels. I would have freaked if I hadn't read about this in a prior review (I am fatideous about cleanliness). However, I just wiped them with mild soap and water, let them dry...and they are FINE. Only reason I didn't give this item a better rating is that you do have to work to get it "just right". The hanging brackets show at the top of each panel and cheap looking. I strongly recommend an alternative mounting method and to clean panels prior to display. Also, mine came with uneven lines, top and bottom of each panel. Personally I prefer "not too perfect" (ie. rustic), but you may need to plane off/trim and re-stain to get straight edges. Overall, I think this is a great deal for a nice piece of "art". Recommended.

Unique

lander from Utah, Jun 22, 2009

Ordered this for a living room piece and really like it.. It makes the room feel more like a spa than a formal, boring traditional living room. Looks really great with a small light shining up on it. It does smell like leather (although there is none) and wood and I have had it for several weeks. If you are close you can smell it otherwise, its not noticeable. It is much more 'rustic' than the picture shows but I like it better that way. As another reviewer wrote, the head does face the other way. I would purchase again. And I did not find it difficult to hang or match up the three panels at all.

Fantastic

nikilyn from San Diego, CA, May 21, 2009

After reading the reviews I decided to go ahead and purchase this item. The reviews were correct. This is even better is real life than in the pictures. It looks a bit more distressed in person which, in my opinion, really only adds to the beauty. There was a smell to the wood when I first opened the box, but a couple of weeks out of the packaging and it was gone. I would recommend this item to anyone.

Excellent Value

manhattanmomma from New York, NY, May 7, 2009

superb work for the price. I attached the panels together with metal braces before hanging as one piece with D-rings that I used to replace the inexpensive "hangers" that came with the panels. It is a beautiful piece, especially for the price.
