In religions world wide, different statues represent different beliefs. For those that worship these statues each one has their unique and significant religious meaning.
The "physical" representation of each belief through religious symbols and statues becomes a concrete means of spreading the different ideas of each religion.
The statues not only have significant religious connotations but also carry out an important role in moral education. On the other hand the statues equally portray an artistic and cultural value, some of which are astounding works of art.
In this exhibition we find a variety of statues depicting the Goddess Kun Iam and objects of religious adoration.
