Substantial vintage cast brass sculpture depicting Budai, the jovial monk popularly known as the Laughing Buddha. Beautifully modeled with an expressive smiling face, rounded belly, and deeply defined flowing robes.

A striking addition to an Asian-inspired interior, collected display, console, bookshelf, or pedestal. Unmarked; maker and exact age unknown.
