Large Laughing Buddha Statue - Green Hard Stone - China - Period: Art Nouveau
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Very nice realization in green hard stone made in China.
This large statue depicts the standing "Laughing Buddha" wearing a necklace of pearls of wisdom in his left hand and a ball in his right hand known as the ball of wealth.
A large solar disc, symbolizing light, illuminates the Buddha's smile.
The meaning of the laughing Buddha with beads and/or a ball of wealth is that of meditation.
The representation of the wealth ball is a sign of wealth and prosperity.
Period: Late 19th century - Early 20th century - Art Nouveau
Dimensions: Height: 103,5cm x Width: 30cm x Depth: 18cm
The image of the Laughing Buddha is inspired by a wandering Chinese monk, Budai (Hotei, in Japanese), who lived there centuries ago and believed to be Maitreya, or the Buddha to come.
The plump figure and the benevolent attitude of the statue suggest contentment, magnanimity and plenitude. Often referred to as the Laughing Buddha, his signature smile symbolizes contentment and pure joy.
The Laughing Buddha is considered a symbol of good luck, and rubbing its big head or belly is believed to bring good fortune and wealth.
The fat belly of the Laughing Buddha is a symbol of tolerance, it also shows that prosperity and wealth can go hand in hand with enlightened consciousness.
If we talk about Hinduism, Lord Kuber is considered as the Lord of Wealth and Fortune. However, in China, people used to keep a Laughing Buddha statue...

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures
Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.
Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.
There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.
When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.
On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
