Monumental Laughing Buddha Statue – 8.2 ft Huong Stone Wood with Golden Kirin Base

This extraordinary Laughing Buddha statue is masterfully hand-carved from solid Huong Stone wood, standing approximately 8.2 ft tall with a 3.3 ft diameter. The sculpture portrays Budai standing with a gentle smile, symbolizing joy, prosperity, and abundance. On his right shoulder, two joyful children embrace gold ingots, while another child is held in his left hand, also carrying a gold ingot. These symbolic details represent blessings, wealth, and the sharing of prosperity.

What makes this sculpture truly one-of-a-kind is the remarkable base design. At the bottom sits a large natural golden wood burl, approximately 1.6 ft in diameter, naturally shaped like a Qilin. The artisan carefully preserved this rare natural formation, carving only subtle details such as the four legs to highlight the form. The image of a golden Qilin embracing a large money bag creates a striking visual centerpiece that cannot be replicated, making this statue a truly unique work of spiritual wood art.
