Labradorite Sitting Laughing Buddha

This is a beautifully hand carved labradorite Buddha ready to take its pride of place in your home.
 
The Laughing Buddha is a model for the jolly Buddhist monk, Hotei, from around the late tenth century AD. Unlike some Buddha statues, the Laughing Buddha has various poses and meanings, depending on the sector and facing direction you place him. The overall meaning of the Laughing Buddha is one of abundance and good luck.
 
The sitting Laughing Buddha represents the balance and maintaining balance in all aspects of life.
 
Labradorite is a type of feldspar and is renowned for its beautiful colours, known as labradorescence. Labradorite is a travellers stone but is also a powerful protector stone by shielding the aura and strengthening the natural energies from within.
