I am offering for sale my antique wooden carving of

Hotei

Hotei is the god of happiness and abundance, and is also from China based on the reincarnation of Maitreya, a Buddhist saint. ... Hotei is very well known outside of Japan as the “Laughing Buddha”.

This fine carved wooden figure of the Buddha is in a standing posture. I believe the statue dates from the Meiji period, although it may be the Showa.

In fair condition with a good patina. Loss of toes on one foot, and shortened fingers.

Measures 10 cm in height

I try and list any obvious defect I find, but not wear and tear consistent with it's age and usage, so please study the images. Therefore please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information or require a specific image, as my aim is to leave you completely pleased with your new purchase. Thank you.
