On offer is a rare and characterful antique Chinese carved wood figure of a Happy Buddha, standing approximately 10 inches tall. This wonderfully expressive piece exudes warmth and serenity, capturing the jovial spirit of Budai, often associated with abundance, joy, and good fortune in Chinese culture.

Beautifully carved from a single block of wood, the figure displays fine detailing in the facial expression, flowing robes, and prayer beads. Once featuring ivory teeth, these have been responsibly removed in accordance with modern ethical and legal standards regarding the sale of ivory.

This sculpture bears signs of age and authenticity — with visible damage to the left shoulder, face, and parts of the base (all clearly shown in the images). Still, the figure remains visually impressive and richly tactile, with a deep natural patina earned over generations.

📌 Key Features:
✅ Antique Chinese carving – likely early 20th century or earlier
✅ Depicts Budai / Laughing Buddha – symbol of joy and contentment
✅ Carved from solid wood – natural aging and patina
✅ Formerly featured ivory teeth – now professionally removed
✅ Size: 10 inches tall
✅ Condition: Age-related wear; visible damage to shoulder, base, and face (see close-ups)
✅ Display-ready – despite flaws, the figure holds strong decorative and spiritual appeal

✔️ Collectors of Chinese antiques or wood carvings
