On the right is a wooden figurine of the Hotei or Laughing Buddha. The figure is carved from a light-colored wood, depicting a rotund, cheerful man with a wide smile, a prominent belly, and wearing prayer beads. He is shown with both arms raised overhead, holding what appears to be a ruyi or a circular object. The carving is detailed, capturing the folds of his robes and his joyful expression.

On the left is a small, cylindrical wooden container with its lid resting beside it. The container is also carved from light wood and features decorative banding and carvings around its body. It is filled with a vibrant, contrasting material—a mound of bright red powder (likely kumkum or vermilion, often used in Hindu and Buddhist rituals) with a small wooden scoop or stick resting in it. The lid is circular and has an intricate, rosette or mandala-like carving on its top surface.
