Where gods are born
Say Tian Hng Buddha Shop is a 6th-generation family business in Singapore that has been hand-crafting and restoring wooden statues of the gods and goddesses of two major world religions - Daoism and Buddhism - since 1840.
Every statue we craft is one of a kind, patiently and lovingly made using traditional and secret techniques passed down through the generations in our family.
Our customers come from Asia, Europe and North America, and comprise both devotees and non-religious culture lovers. Some acquire them for religious devotion, while others to appreciate as collectible works of miniature sacred art that express the ancient mystique, magic and allure of Chinese mythology.

“My statue arrived in France in perfect condition. The quality is exceptional and the statue looks even nicer than what I expected from the photographs. I have visited many shops in Asia selling similar statues and I have to say that the quality of your work is far above!”
