Jade Pendant Green Honey Brown Happy Buddha, Laughing Buddha Figure n460S
This stone figure, likely carved from natural jade stone, depicts a jovial, laughing monk—commonly identified as Budai or the "Laughing Buddha." The stone features a beautiful mottled coloration, transitioning from a pale, icy celadon green to warm, earthy honey-gold patches along the right side and base. The figure is expertly sculpted in a vertical, elongated form, showing Budai with a wide, toothy grin, elongated earlobes symbolizing wisdom, and a large prayer bead necklace draped across his chest.
Translucent, waxy luster with natural inclusions and a smooth, polished finish.
A traditional symbol of happiness, abundance, and contentment.
A tiny perforation (usually near the top or through the center) allows this piece to be worn as a substantial pendant or attached to a silk cord for use as a decorative tassel.
Note: The way the carver utilized the "skin" (the golden-brown outer layer of the raw stone) to define the side of the figure is a classic technique used to add depth and value to gemstone carvings.
