Original Wood Sculpture , "Jovial Buddha"
Buddha throws back his head and laughs out loud in a graceful statuette. Sculpted of suar wood and polished to a sheen, this portrait attests to Wayan Rendah's talent. The laughing Buddha stands for prosperity, happiness and longevity; Balinese people believe that rubbing his belly will bring good luck and fortune.

"Gift"
This is my second purchase from this artist. On receiving this Buddha I did find a difference with the way the teeth were displayed in the picture as well as the chest but other then this it is well done. I will purchase from him again.
