Antique c1900 carved Resin Laughing Buddha on custom wood stands A608

A finely carved antique figure depicting the traditional Laughing Buddha (Budai) seated in a relaxed, joyful pose. The carving showcases a serene, smiling expression, rounded cheeks, and delicately incised facial lines. The Buddha’s robe is rendered with flowing folds and textured detailing along the shoulders and sleeves, highlighting the artisan’s skill.

The figure holds a small object in the right hand—commonly interpreted as a wealth ball or pearl—symbolizing abundance and good fortune. His left hand rests gently on his knee, balanced in a casual posture characteristic of Budai imagery. The natural warm patina, with subtle age-toning and faint surface lines, is consistent with early hand-carved pieces.

The sculpture sits on its original carved hardwood stand, featuring pierced decoration and stepped edges, enhancing the presentation and authenticity.
