    Hello everyone,

    I need help discovering what this necklace could be made of. Also, are the carved beads buddha? Thanks for the input!

    Nice necklace, MT.
    The carved beads are Hotei or Budai beads, often confused with Buddha. The Buddha was ascetic, so no big belly. Hotei/Budai has a big belly.

    Thank you! That's good to know. I have always been confused when it came to telling the difference between them! I will pay attention to the belly now :D
