Budai Buddha in white jada

Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
This refined sculpture depicts the Laughing Buddha, or Budai, and is crafted from precious white jade, a material symbolizing purity, wisdom, and serenity in Chinese culture. The Buddha, with his characteristic joyful smile and round belly, represents happiness, abundance, and prosperity. The polished, smooth white jade gives the sculpture a natural luminosity, enhancing the sense of peace and spirituality that the figure embodies.

Although the Buddha is depicted in a relaxed, seated position, he holds a mala in his hand—a traditional prayer bead string used for meditation and reciting mantras. This detail adds a deeper spiritual significance to the piece, blending the relaxed posture with an active element of mindfulness and devotion.

The attention to detail in the craftsmanship is evident in the flowing folds of the robe that wrap around the Buddha’s body and the soft features of the face, which exude an aura of calm and tranquility. The natural veins in the white jade add depth and uniqueness to the sculpture, making it a piece of great aesthetic and symbolic value.

This white jade Buddha sculpture is perfect for decorating meditation spaces or areas where you want to infuse a sense of serenity and positivity. With its timeless design and spiritual significance, it fits beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors, offering a touch of elegance and a connection to the rich cultural heritage of Asia.
