Buddhism research

[whiteforest]

I'm writing a paper on Buddha and his presence in art. One thing that I cannot find information on is the Buddha sculptures that seem to be commonly found in people's homes. Does anyone know the exact significance of those? Does anyone here happen to be Buddhist?

Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.
