Very nice realization in green hard stone made in China.
This large statue depicts the standing "Laughing Buddha" wearing a necklace of pearls of wisdom in his left hand and a ball in his right hand known as the ball of wealth. A large solar disc, symbolizing light, illuminates the Buddha's smile.

The meaning of the Laughing Buddha with beads and/or wealth ball is that of meditation.
The representation of the wealth ball is a sign of wealth and prosperity.

Period: Late 19th century - Early 20th century – Art Nouveau
Dimensions: Height: 103.5cm x Width: 30cm x Depth: 18cm

The Laughing Buddha image is inspired by a wandering Chinese monk, Budai (Hotei, in Japanese), who lived centuries ago and is believed to be Maitreya, or the Buddha to come.

The plump figure and the benevolent attitude of the statue suggest contentment, magnanimity and plenitude.
Often referred to as the Laughing Buddha, his signature smile symbolizes contentment and pure joy.
The Laughing Buddha is considered a symbol of good luck, and rubbing its big head or belly is believed to bring good luck and wealth.

The fat belly of the Laughing Buddha is a symbol of tolerance, it also shows that prosperity and wealth can go hand in hand with enlightened consciousness.

If we talk about Hinduism, Lord Kuber is considered as the Lord of Wealth and Fortune.
However, in China, people used to keep a Laughing Buddha statue at home to increase luck and attract positive energies around them.

They view the Laughing Buddha as an idol that protects them and doubles the benefits of positive vibrations in the home.
