AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is Budai, better known as the Laughing Buddha, who is called Hotei in Japan. You recognize him by his wide smile, shaved head, and large, round belly. He is associated with joy, generosity, and abundance.
In this depiction he carries a long string of coins and stands on a dragon-draped pedestal. That presentation clearly emphasizes wealth and prosperity.
It is not, by the way, the same figure as Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha: Budai is based on a Chinese monk from the tenth century.
