AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautifully characteristic and highly detailed Chinese statue of Budai, in the West better known as the Laughing Buddha. The figure is depicted in a classic, relaxed reclining pose, broadly smiling as a symbol of happiness, wealth, and contentment.
In his right hand he holds a Buddhist prayer bead mala, while he comfortably leans against his characteristic sack of abundance. The whole rests on a beautifully stylized oval base, around which are decorated with traditional zoomorphic masks and architectural columns.
The statue has a gorgeous, deep dark patina with subtle verdigris (green oxidation) traces in the deeper folds of the robe, giving the object a beautifully weathered appearance.
