![image]() The Buddha statue in Lama Temple, Beijing, China, is the largest Buddha statue made with wood. The statue was conceived from a large log. The height of the statue reaches 18 meters. Age of the statue is also very old because it already existed since the Qing Dynasty. Another interesting point about this statue. When there was a Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, there were many buildings that were badly damaged. Cool, the statue and the temple can still be sturdy.

Royal Ontario Museum has four large poles carved. The sculpture is a human face. Well, everyone at the stake has its own story that includes the origin, experience, and achievement in life. Initially the pole would be dijadiin museum collection, but because it is too big so can not be on display. Finally, when there is a museum widening, the sculpture is used as a pole.
