| Description:
|
This Budai or Maitreya statue seated on a platform base with a simplicity and incised style. With his laughing expression face, long earlobes to the shoulder, corpulent belly exposed, and the right hand resting on his knee and holding packed treasure bag. Fine green patina to the interior, it is a Qing dynasty Budai statue and surely worthwhile for collection.
