Los 1155 | Budai sculpture group CHINA, Qing Dynasty (1644-1912).
Budai sculpture group of glazed ceramic. CHINA, Qing dynasty (1644-1912). The pot-bellied laughing monk is also known as Lucky Buddha or Laughing Buddha. The statue of the Laughing Buddha is found in Chinese monasteries in the Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings. The depiction shows him laughing, surrounded by a crowd of children, with a fat naked belly and in a sitting posture on his bulging sack, around which a dragon is coiled. The figure of Budai embodies some Chinese ideals of life. The fat belly stands for wealth, the laughter and the relaxed sitting posture symbolize serenity and contentment with oneself and the world. The children surrounding the statue indicate one of the main Chinese virtues: love of children. As an always good-humored, propertyless monk, Budai/Hotei originally stood for the virtue of self-sufficiency. His sack, bulging with alms, says that he who is content with little possesses the greatest treasure. He is also considered a Buddha(aspect), who is turned towards the common people and gives the alms collected in his sack to children and the poor. Thus, he is also symbolic of socially engaged Buddhism. Marked on the back. Signs of age.
