ENQUIRE

Description

A large bronze figure of Budai, the jovial 10th-century Chan monk widely identified with Maitreya, the Future Buddha. Seated in a relaxed pose, he is depicted with a corpulent body, smiling face, and exposed belly, embodying happiness, generosity, and contentment. He holds prayer beads and a peach fruit, symbolising Buddhist devotion and longevity. The rich patina enhances the modelling and sense of age.

The “Laughing Buddha,” is revered in East Asian Buddhism as an incarnation of Maitreya and a symbol of prosperity, good fortune, and abundance. His cloth sack and cheerful demeanour further signify generosity and spiritual liberation.

A large-scale and auspicious representation, suitable for collectors of Chinese Buddhist art.
