The significance of the peach:

Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher and founder of Taoism, is often depicted holding a peach in his hand. The peach is a symbol of longevity and immortality in Chinese culture, and it is believed that Lao Tzu was gifted a peach by a supernatural being before he left the mortal world.

According to legend, Lao Tzu decided to leave civilization and venture into the wilderness when he was 160 years old. At a mountain pass, he was stopped by a gatekeeper who recognized him as a wise and enlightened being. The gatekeeper convinced Lao Tzu to write down his teachings before he departed, and the result was the Tao Te Ching, a fundamental text of Taoism.

Before leaving, Lao Tzu was gifted a peach that was said to have magical properties and would grant him immortality. The peach has thus become a symbol of his wisdom and connection to the divine, representing the pursuit of longevity and the attainment of spiritual immortality in Taoist philosophy.

I always say to our customers; The sculpture chooses you, you do not choose the sculpture.
You just know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart. - Kyle Tortora, Founder of Lotus Sculpture

The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant.

Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:

Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture

We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.

We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time.
