Budai Buddha fine wood carving
About the Item
This fascinating Budai, finely carved from noble wood, represents one of the most beloved and symbolic figures in the Buddhist pantheon. The sculpture depicts Budai, often known as the "Laughing Buddha" or "Buddha of Fortune," holding a necklace of traditional Chinese coins hanging from his hand-a symbol of prosperity and abundance. The presence of these coins, representing material wealth, intertwines with Budai's profound spiritual significance, blending the desire for physical well-being with the pursuit of inner happiness.
The frog on his shoulder adds an additional symbolic layer to the sculpture. In Asian culture, the frog is often seen as a bearer of good fortune, associated with money and transformation. This association with Budai reinforces the message of abundance and positive change, reminding us of the importance of embracing blessings with a light and joyful heart.
The wood chosen for this sculpture is carefully selected, with rich, deep grains that give the figure an aura of antiquity and wisdom. The finely executed details, with soft and flowing lines, reflect Budai's warmth and spirituality. His radiant face and rounded body embody happiness and contentment-central elements of the Budai figure.
This sculpture is not just a decorative piece but an authentic talisman of good fortune and protection. Placing it in the home, a meditation space, or even a workspace can bring a sense of serenity and harmony, infusing the environment with positive and welcoming energy.
A piece that combines art, spirituality, and strong cultural symbolism, perfect for those looking to enrich their space with an object of great artistic and spiritual value.

Budai Buddha in dark jade
Located in Milano, IT
This exquisite dark jade Budai, also known as the Laughing Buddha, is a cherished symbol of happiness, prosperity, and abundance in Chinese Buddhist iconography. The figure of Budai, often depicted with a joyful smile and a round, protruding belly, is said to represent contentment, generosity, and the joy of life. Historically, Budai is believed to have been based on an eccentric Chinese Zen monk who lived during the 10th century. Over time, his image evolved to become a symbol of prosperity and well-being, beloved in both religious and cultural contexts.
Skillfully carved from dark jade, a stone highly valued in Chinese culture for its association with purity, wisdom, and protection, this sculpture brings both spiritual and artistic significance. Jade has held a special place in Chinese history for millennia, considered more precious than gold and revered for its ability to ward off evil and bring balance. The rich green hues of the dark jade in this Budai sculpture enhance the overall sense of calm and serenity that the figure embodies.
The craftsmanship in this piece is evident in the intricate carving of Budai's flowing robes and expressive features. His smiling face radiates warmth and positivity, while his posture-relaxed and grounded-symbolizes inner peace and harmony. This dark jade Budai is more than just a decorative item; it is a reminder of the importance of joy, kindness, and generosity in everyday life.
