This amazing genuine animal bone carving portraying “Laughing Buddha” is truly a work of an expert artist. Can you see the tiny details on his garments? The hand painted small geometrical and floral designs is truly breathtaking. Look at the fine carving done on the figurine as each feature on the face is absolutely crafted to perfection. Glance at the kimono that he is wearing - the fall and folds of the garment are carved magnificently. See the neck piece that adorns the body, although minute but clear. Look at the small basket or the little hand carved sack, such fine detailing and finish! This genuine bone hand carved piece includes Master Carver's Signature. Did you know that Hotei, Budai or "Laughing Buddha" as known globally, is God of contentment and happiness. He is portrayed as a merry, cheerful face and has a big belly. He is supposed to be based on a real life saint - Buddhist monk Budaishi (d. 917), who is said to be an incarnation of Miroku Bodhisattva (Maitreya in Sanskrit). The bag that he carries is supposed to never empty and feeds the needy.
