Perfect! Very well made and heavier than I expected. So beautiful I even bought (off Amazon of course) a small spotlight. I find Baphmet’s presence as I enter the loft at the top of the stairs a great comfort. I might purchase another one.

I recently received this "Pacific Giftware 8" Sabbatic Goat Baphomet Bust Statue, Keeper of The Mystical Realm Decorative Sculpture Figurine" and I'm impressed with the level of detail included in this sculpture. When I saw this little statue I immediately thought, "Oh, now that's going to bother some people." Naturally, I ordered it immediately.This 8" sculpture arrived quickly and was (annoyingly) packaged with the variety of Styrofoam that will end up everywhere. Fortunately, the all-invasive Styrofoam did a wonderful job keeping the little goat-dude protected, so he emerged from the package completely unscathed. The detail on this piece is... "intricate" is the word that comes to mind. It's a real testament to the original artist's skill and...well, his/her/their artistry! I do not know the manufacturing process for the creation of resin figurines, but I would think it's similar to other processes involving molds. The original mold used for the mass production of this miniature bust is impressive, regardless of one's personal opinions on the subject matter. ;-)I've not chosen the location to display this piece just yet. Should I mix it in with other forms of religious iconography and symbolism? Should I place it between a Celtic cross and a jewel-embellished ankh? Should it serve to balance the Bast bust on the opposite end of the mantel? So many choices! Regardless of where it ends up on display, I need to make sure it is viewable close enough for people to see its impressive level of detail. Plus, I want to make sure people can be close enough TO be bothered by it... you know, because in the event a person MIGHT be bothered by it, far be it from me to deny them this possibility! Plus, you don't get to have those really thought-provoking conversations if people aren't inspired to ask questions!This mini-bust of Baphomet was priced at $25.78 when I placed my order, and I would gladly order this little statue again. Happy to recommend!- - - - - - - - - -More on the lore for the curious:"The goat on the frontispiece carries the sign of the pentagram on the forehead, with one point at the top, a symbol of light, his two hands forming the sign of occultism, the one pointing up to the white moon of Chesed, the other pointing down to the black one of Geburah. This sign expresses the perfect harmony of mercy with justice. His one arm is female, the other male like the ones of the androgyne of Khunrath, the attributes of which we had to unite with those of our goat because he is one and the same symbol. The flame of intelligence shining between his horns is the magic light of the universal balance, the image of the soul elevated above matter, as the flame, whilst being tied to matter, shines above it. The beast's head expresses the horror of the sinner, whose materially acting, solely responsible part has to bear the punishment exclusively; the soul is insensitive according to its nature and can only suffer when it materializes. The rod standing instead of genitals symbolizes eternal life, the body covered with scales: the water, the semi-circle above it: the atmosphere, the feathers following above: the volatile. Humanity is represented by the two breasts and the androgyne arms of this sphinx of the occult sciences."- Éliphas Lévi, Dogme et rituel de la haute magie

Okay, I’ll admit it: I wasn’t expecting to summon anything otherworldly when I bought this Pacific Giftware Sabbatic Goat Baphomet Bust Statue. But when this magnificent creature arrived, I realized my life—and my living room—would never be the same again.First, the detail on this statue is breathtaking. Baphomet’s goat face stares at you like he’s judging your every decision, yet also offering ancient wisdom. I have no idea what he’s thinking (probably about how I still haven’t replaced the broken lamp), but I like to think he’s secretly proud of my taste in home decor.Baphomet isn’t just a decorative piece; he’s an experience. People come over and they instantly lock eyes with him, asking, “Is that the Keeper of the Mystical Realm?” And I just nod sagely like, “Yeah, just a little something I picked up to add character to my space.” It’s a conversation starter, for sure—whether it’s about the arcane or whether I should stop leaving my dirty laundry around. (I haven’t figured out what Baphomet thinks of my laundry habits yet.)Let’s talk sturdiness. This is a solid statue—no flimsy, cheap material here. It’s made of high-quality resin, which means it won’t just topple over when you knock your coffee mug a little too hard. It’s solid. It’s immovable. It has the gravitas of a goat that’s been around long enough to witness the rise and fall of entire civilizations (or at least one too many Netflix series).The vibe this thing brings to your space is unreal. It’s like living with a silent, judging yet sophisticated force that makes everything feel more... important. My bookshelf looks more profound now. My couch? More thought-provoking. Even my plants seem to stand taller under Baphomet’s watchful eye. When you live with a mystical being of this caliber, you just feel like your furniture has more depth.In conclusion: If you want a conversation piece that also feels like it might have knowledge of ancient secrets, go ahead and grab this bust. It won’t judge you (unless you make bad life decisions, in which case, he might judge a little), and it’ll elevate your decor in ways you never thought possible.10/10 – Would invite into my home again, possibly to bless my fridge and enlighten my sandwich choices.

Pacific Giftware makes beautiful figures and replicas and while this one is creepy, it is very well made with lots of intricate details and a decent weight.

You enter a dimly lit chamber. The scent of incense clings to the air, thick with forgotten oaths. In the center, high upon a shelf of old tomes and lost knowledge, sits the statue. A depiction of Baphomet—The Watcher, The Weigher of Souls, The Eternal Middle Finger to polite society.Its flame crown flickers not with light, but judgment. Its gaze pierces through mortal façades, peeling back your bravado to see what truly lies beneath. You feel it immediately. This is not décor. This is a trial.To possess this statue is to accept the quest: to walk boldly into shadow, to bear the weight of knowing, to meet every passing glance with the silent scream of “I chose this.” But did you? Or did it choose you?The resin is finely cast, etched with lore. The horns curl like ancient glyphs. The beard? Braided with the regret of paladins who thought they’d resist the pull. The base hums faintly, or maybe that’s just your sanity cracking.This is your patron now. Act accordingly.
