The glossy finish of the white jade bestows a luminous, almost sacred aura upon the statue, drawing the eye and instilling a sense of inner peace.

Budai’s open, infectious smile, with his round, full cheeks, invites you to embrace happiness and savor the simple pleasures of life. In his hand, he holds a carefully carved string of prayer beads, a symbol of wisdom and devotion, adding a deeper spiritual dimension to the piece.

The intricate details of his flowing robes are skillfully crafted, creating soft drapes that contrast beautifully with the jade’s solidity. His bare feet, firmly planted on the base, convey a sense of grounded simplicity, a reminder to find peace in life’s humblest aspects.

This sculpture is ideal for anyone seeking an object that is not only decorative but also carries a message of positivity and uplifting spiritual energy, enhancing any space with its luminous and inspiring presence. less
