Neko-Chan  offers bidders this statue of Green Tara, the national "goddess" (closest English approximation of "yiddam") of Tibet, who represents the active and energetic aspect of compassion. 

Neko-Chan "searches the planet to find and bring you the unusual, tools and gifts that enrich the spirit." Its catalog is brimming with everything from  the practical - incense, malas and books - to the unusual - pottery, textiles and cats! "A package from Neko-Chan should bring a smile to your face."

The company "will not knowingly deal in any items which are produced by 'sweatshops', prison labor, slave labor, child labor...and (has) a policy of across-the-board boycotting of products from China to protest the Chinese take-over of Tibet." They go on to say that "There are many struggling artisans and craftpersons in China who deserve a break" and that they continue to look for and support them.
