We are particularly committed to assisting women around the world and to this end have worked with several organisations including the Hua Bin Women's Union of Vietnam, the East Timorese Women's Association and Tikondane in Zambia. Time honoured means of craftsmanship and traditional ways of life are disappearing as people all over the world give up their identity in favour of jeans and T-shirts.
We see our trade as a means of staving off the inevitable encroachment of the 21st century, assisting communities to decide for themselves which parts of the western world they wish to incorporate medicine, education and which they wish to reject prostitution, drug production, begging and servitude to warlords.
We encourage our customers to think of the handicrafts and artifacts they buy from us as an investment: a piece of history and a way of life that may soon be gone forever. In the past our pieces appeared in many movies including The Hobbit, Mission Impossible 2, Queen of the Damned, Scooby Doo, Moulin Rouge and Wolverine, and in many televisions series, as well as in plays, commercials and exhibitions.
We've found special pieces for individual customers as well as for film sets, event management companies, hotels, businesses, consulates and embassies. The uniqueness of our stock means that we are also very appealing to interior and fashion designers with a taste for the exotic. There is something for everyone at Kashgar - collectors, the curious, those looking for a special present or for something unique to adorn the home.
Most of our items are one-off specialties; other pieces we only stock in small quantities so as to continuously offer a wide and ever-changing range of interesting products. We are also packed with ideas for decorating home and work premises that will challenge your established concepts of design and storage.

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.
Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, or [email protected]. This sculpture is in our Oceanside, California store and ready for immediate shipping. Each sculpture is usually shipped within 24 hours of the order with the exception of the weekend.
