About the Item

This exquisite natural white jade carving portrays two youthful fairies in playful interaction with Milefo, the Laughing Buddha. One fairy holds a Ganoderma Lucidum (Lingzhi), a revered emblem of longevity and health, while the other strikes a tambourine with one hand and cheerfully cleans Milefo’s ear with the other. Together, they create a spirited and joyful scene, full of movement and charm. The carving is further adorned with bats, ancient coins, and additional lingzhi motifs, all auspicious symbols representing good fortune, happiness, health, joy, and prosperity in Chinese culture. The natural white jade has a luminous translucence, enhanced by its smooth polish and balanced proportions, which emphasize the artistry of the work. Measuring approximately 28 cm (H) × 22 cm (W) × 10 cm (D) and weighing about 3.47 kg, this piece embodies both exceptional craftsmanship and rich cultural symbolism, making it a distinguished addition to any collection of fine jade or Asian decorative arts.
