Chinese Old Wood Carving Reclining Maitreya Buddha with Gold and Lotus Leave
About the Item
This vintage wood carving of Maitreya Buddha sitting on a lotus leaf while holding a gold ingot is a unique and significant piece of Chinese Buddhist art. This statue combines the joyful and auspicious symbolism of Maitreya Buddha with elements that represent prosperity and spiritual purity.
Maitreya Buddha is regarded as the future Buddha, who is prophesied to appear on Earth, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure Dharma. He is often depicted as a joyful, laughing figure, symbolizing hope, joy, and the promise of future salvation. The joyful and serene expression on Maitreya Buddha’s face symbolizes happiness, hope, and the promise of a better future. His smiling visage is intended to inspire joy and contentment in the viewer.
The lotus is a powerful symbol in Buddhism, representing purity, enlightenment, and the ability to rise above the murky waters of attachment and desire. A lotus leaf serves as a base for the Buddha, symbolizing his spiritual purity and detachment from worldly matters.
The gold ingot, often depicted in Chinese art, symbolizes wealth, abundance, and good fortune. In the context of Maitreya Buddha, it reinforces the idea of material and spiritual prosperity.
The integration of Maitreya Buddha with elements like the lotus leaf and gold ingot reflects the syncretic nature of Chinese Buddhist art, which often blends Buddhist iconography with traditional Chinese symbols of good fortune and prosperity.
The vintage wood carving of Maitreya Buddha on a lotus leaf holding a gold ingot is a deeply spiritual and artistically significant piece that embodies the joy, hope, and prosperity associated with Maitreya Buddha. The use of wood as a material, combined with the detailed craftsmanship and rich symbolism, makes this statue a cherished item for collectors, practitioners, and connoisseurs of Buddhist art. Its value is enhanced by the quality of the carving, the historical and cultural context, and the unique depiction of Maitreya’s joyful nature and the promise of future blessings. This statue serves as a timeless reminder of the happiness, prosperity, and spiritual purity that Maitreya Buddha brings to the world.
