A striking vintage cast metal Laughing Buddha (Budai/Hotei) style figure with a wonderfully expressive face, beaded necklace detail, and that big rounded belly that makes these pieces so visually satisfying on a shelf. It nails the current “zen den” / wellbeing corner trend while still working in eclectic maximalist rooms as a bold little conversation piece on a bookcase, sideboard, or altar table.

Measures 22 cm tall (approx. 8.66"). Condition is vintage with visible age wear and patina, including surface scuffs, small marks and rubbing from handling; it presents strongly and sits nicely for display—please refer to the photos for the overall finish.

Dating from around the middle of the last century.
