Butter Sculptures

Butter sculpture is an ancient Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Yak butter and dye are used to create temporary symbols for the Tibetan New Year and other religious celebrations.

More modern butter sculptures were created to promote dairy products at State Fairs in USA.

A lot of the ones shown here have been created by Jim Victor who is a sculptor with over thirty years experience as an artist and teacher.  You can see more of his work here: http://www.jimvictor.com

I don't know the sculptor of the ones that are not Jim Victor's creations.
