About the Item
Resin sculpture of Budai. With a jovial and laughing expression, he is seated in a relaxed position, wearing wide robes with meticulous draperies and a necklace of beads, a symbol of wisdom and spirituality. In his right hand he holds a staff with a bag, traditionally associated with carrying the goods he offers to the poor and needy.
According to Chinese tradition, Budai or Pu-tai, meaning “cloth bag”, was a semi-legendary itinerant Buddhist monk from the 10th century, about 1600 years after the birth of the historical Buddha. Budai was a native of Fenghua and lived in China during the Liang dynasty (907-923 AD). His Buddhist name was Qieci and he was considered a man of good character, loving, generous, happy, content and in a good mood. He spread joy and happiness wherever he went. Budai became a famous character in Chinese folk tales and according to some beliefs he is considered to be a Bodhisattva or Maitreya (the future Buddha).
In iconography, Buddha is portrayed as a fat, smiling, bald man with elongated earlobes and a large belly.
