Description

China, Qing Dynasty, 18th/19th century

Depicting Budai seated in a relaxed pose, with characteristic laughing expression

The left arm raised holding a small vessel

With ample robes deeply carved in flowing folds

The composition skilfully exploiting the natural form of the bamboo root, with a rich dark reddish-brown patina
