This reclining Buddha is a replica of a massive sculpture from the caves of Dambulla in Sri Lanka. Dating back to the 1st Century BC, five caves were carved out from under a vast overhanging rock and a temple honoring Buddha and various other gods & goddesses, was built. The reclining Buddha is 15 meters long and is only one of 150 statues and countless paintings of the Buddhist Order to be found in the caves. A national treasure, the Dambulla Caves are still functional and they remain the best-preserved edifices in Sri Lanka. Castart Studios Ltd. Victoria, BC
