Buddha heads are the icon of confidence, awareness, knowledge, compassion and concentrated meditative practices.
Each and every faculty of the Buddha head symbolizes a hidden meaning, philosophy, history, occult, and above all how to individually and collectively be great, noble and kind human beings.

The religion's founder, Buddha, is considered an extraordinary man, but not a god.
The term Buddha literally means enlightened one, a knower.
The path to enlightenment is attained by utilizing morality, meditation and wisdom.

A Buddha is one who has attained Bodhi; and by Bodhi is meant wisdom, an ideal state of intellectual and ethical perfection which can be achieved by man through purely human means.

The 3 x faces is the same principle of the 3 x wise monkeys:
The three wise monkeys are a Japanese pictorial maxim, embodying the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".
The three monkeys are:
Mizaru, who sees no evil, covering his eyes.
Kikazaru, who hears no evil, covering his ears.
Iwazaru, who speaks no evil, covering his mouth.

In another symbolic interpretation/meaning
The Biblical quotation of the golden rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
Matthew 7:12, known as the spiritual gift of “rectitude” (morally correct behaviour or thinking; righteousness), also as "imitation of God", it is the definition of the Good. It is the maximum ethical principle.

NOW that you are well informed, you better BUY the statuette after all this… LOL
