i used to see these old stone troughs for sale every now and then, but not anymore. this buddha head came off a buddha in the previous post. now that he sat in the water for around 2 yrs, he has a wonderful patina. i just really like this photo!
the other Buddhas here are just little ones i found around my desk.
