The image of the Ho tai, commonly know as "Laughing Buddha" or "Happy Buddha" is based on a wandering monk, Budai who lived centuries ago and is believed to be Maitreya, or the Buddha to come. The statue' s plump figure and benign countenance suggest contentment, magnanimity and plenitude. Folklore has it that rubbing his pot belly brings good fortune and wealth.
Made by skilled Indonesian artists, each statue is individually made with unique organic finish and natural variation in wood grain and color - making your statue truly one of a kind. Made of single log of wood - natural grain and texture variations and imperfections in wood surface are characteristic of this artistic tradition.
Beauty isn't perfect, it's authentic. This item was artistically created by hand where beauty and imperfections go together wonderfully. Please accept and appreciate minor imperfections and variations which are true characteristics of this craft.
