laughing buddha

This was my fourth purchase through Novica, and once again it did not disappoint. The Pu-Tai pendant by Made Sudiari is exquisitely crafted and finished, and in my opinion is the best depiction of Pu-Tai in a miniature pendant version I have ever seen. The only minor change I made was to transfer the pendant to a slightly longer silver chain as the original cord it comes with is leather and I did not want to damage it with fairly regular exposure to water, but I have kept the original leather cord and may transfer it back some day. However, I am 100% pleased with my purchase and recommend this artist without reservation. She is truly a skilled craftsperson and I will look for her work again when I need gifts for family or friends in future. Certainly suitable I think for a man or a woman, and again beautifully and carefully crafted with amazing attention to detail. Thank you Made Sudiari! Thank you, Novica!

I was amazed at the weight of this happy Buddha. He is now sitting with a collection of Asian bronze pieces that I inherited from my dad. He fits in perfectly. I am very very pleased with my purchase

Jollu Buddha is beautifully carved. He is another one of the beautiful wood carvings we have purchased from Novica that are now cherished family possessions.
