edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) What about eyes closed? We saw a few with eyes that were closed or almost closed. My parents said to avoid becox u'll want the deities at home to be watching out for everyone in the family. But there must be a reason why the artisans made them with their eyes closed. One neighbour even told us that the deity's eye level should be guarding the ash pot where the joss sticks are offered & placed in.
