Eyes closed with mirth, a rotund Buddha laughs out loud. The Laughing Buddha represents prosperity, happiness and longevity.

"Peaceful"
This artist?s sculptures are not only beautiful, but also bring me a feeling of peace when I hold them. I find myself reaching for this Buddha when I feel stressed. I have other works from this artist and I plan to buy more.

"Beautifully carved"
Its a beautiful addition to my Buddha collection, most of which I bought from you. Just one note the bottom isnt flat enough so it wobbles.
