About the Item
This captivating sculpture depicts a Buddha with a frog resting on his shoulder, crafted from jade root. The Buddha, with his serene smile and relaxed posture, exudes a sense of peace and tranquility, while the frog, symbolizing transformation and rebirth, adds a layer of spiritual meaning to the composition.
Jade, a material revered for centuries in Eastern cultures, is used here to create a piece with both aesthetic and symbolic impact. The variety of tones, ranging from white to dark green, accentuates the sculpture's details, highlighting both the Buddha and the frog. The combination of these two symbols may represent the soul's journey toward enlightenment, emphasizing the concept of continuous change and spiritual renewal.
In Eastern tradition, the frog is often associated with good fortune, prosperity, and the ability to adapt to changes. Its presence on this sculpture, alongside the Buddha, reminds us that spiritual growth is a fluid process, full of transformations, just like the frog's passage through the stages of its life.
This piece is not only a decorative object but a true symbol of wisdom, personal growth, and prosperity, making it perfect for enriching a space with a touch of spirituality and beauty. The quality of the material and the craftsmanship's finesse make this sculpture a testament to ancient Eastern art, evoking a sense of inner harmony and balance with the natural world.

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.
Perfect for both spiritual and decorative purposes, this Budai statue...
