This little pendant is a copy of the largest Buddha in the world (see below) ?measures 1.5 x 1 x 1/2inch + the tassel. Actually brought 100-yards from this Buddha in China.
The largest Buddha in the world, is located in Leshan, Sichuan Province. A monk called Hai Tong stared the project almost 1,300 years ago during the Tang Dynasty. It took him twenty-years to raise the money to start, and by the time he dyed the Buddha was half built. Finally finished in the year 803, the statue took more than 90 years to carve. It’s about 233-feet high. The 27-feet instep is big enough for one hundred people to sit on, and his 92-feet shoulder is large enough to play a game of basketball on. Even his fingers are 11-feet long, and each ear measures 23 feet.
