The Buddha. What can one say about the Buddha? His spirit has journeyed through the world for over two millennia. Poets have celebrated him. Writers retell the story of his soul's journey. In his honor we have illuminated him with golden light and wish that compassion and kindness find all who gaze upon him. This is one of our favorite globes. Glass globe on our Iconic Square Black Base Keep your globe out of direct sunlight. Sunlight shining through the water is a magnifier and can cause a fire. Sunlight can also cause the water to discolor. Dust with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner is fine on the globe. CoolSnowGlobes are made of glass and are not toys for children.
