The Buddha itself was small, maybe 18", but the monument it sat in (see next picture) was probably over 7 feet tall!
This one wasn't really at the Museum. It was in ChinaTown in a store. I oh-so-badly wanted to purchase it, but couldn't figure out how to get it home without breaking it, plus I felt I had already spent too much money! and now I have found one here. It is 2/3 the size at OVER TWICE THE PRICE!!
Another in ChinaTown.
Of course, I had to get some shots that proved I was REALLY there! Luckily, I am not too shy to say "Would you take my picture?"!
