Large Vintage Happy Buddah Statue Cream Ivory-like Resin LA FARO Made in Italy Mid-Century Modern
"Big Buddha"; a large, prominent statue known as a symbol of peace, faith, and unity. The "Happy Buddha," also known as Budai or Hotei, is a beloved figure in Buddhism, symbolizing joy, happiness, prosperity, and abundance, often depicted with a cheerful expression and that iconic large belly. Rubbing the Buddha's belly is believed to bring good fortune and wealth. In East Asian cultures, the Happy Buddha is considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity, and is often displayed in homes and businesses. The Buddha's elongated earlobes are more than just a physical characteristic; they are a powerful symbol of his journey towards enlightenment and the qualities he embodies, such as wisdom and compassion. Place your Buddha in your home or in front of your business as reminder to embrace a more relaxed and contented approach to life.
Seated on a black wooden plinth, contrasts beautifully with his creamy ivory color. Signed on bottom 'LA FARO'. Made in Italy, around the second half of the 20th century. Hand carved, with intricate details, from his facial features to his feet, to the scroll work, and Chinese dragon on the back. Cut plasticine is glazed and heavier in weight.
