Soapstone Happy Buddha & Carved Vase + Bronze Buddha Head 

A unique 3-piece decorative lot combining Buddhist imagery with artisan stonework. The centerpiece is a bronze Buddha head (hollow, 4" x 2.5" x 3", 5 oz), cast with a serene expression and coiled hair details, reflecting traditional hollow-bronze methods often used for devotional sculpture. Accompanying it is a soapstone Happy Buddha figure (8.5" x 3" x 2.5", 3 lbs), carved from a single block of stone and depicting the joyful deity with arms raised. The third piece is a soapstone vase (7.5" x 2.5", 1.5 lbs), incised with stylized leaf motifs in white against a black surface, a design commonly associated with African soapstone carving traditions.

Together, these objects highlight cross-cultural artistry, from Asian Buddhist influences to African decorative craft. Displayed as a set, they offer both spiritual symbolism and global design appeal.

Condition:
Good overall, as shown. Light surface wear and natural stone variations consistent with age and handling. The soapstone Buddha shows minor edge wear, the vase has faint scratches and interior marks, and the bronze head retains patina appropriate to age. Please see photos for details.
