Laughing Buddha in Soapstone
These Lucky Buddha statuettes (Budai, Laughing Buddha, etc.) are hand-carved from blocks of soapstone. This soft stone looks a bit like marble when polished or varnished, and its natural colours usually range from green to red.
A small hole was drilled in the Buddha's hand. This allows you to hold Indian incense sticks if required.
