Product Description
In China the Buddha is often depicted with a large sack or bag. This is derived from the legend of Pu Tai, a Buddhist monk who traveled round spreading Buddhist thought during the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907). He was extremely kind and jovial and may be the original source of the happy or laughing Buddha that is so common in China. Usually the Buddha carries, or sits upon, the sack. It is also said that a Buddha with a sack has anything the needy may require to help them. He carries a calabash gourd, used as a water bottle in ancient times, symbolizing health and the Buddha's ability to relieve suffering. Other details include the long ear lobes and long wrinkled staff, both symbolizing longevity. The statuette is hand molded with ceramic clay and hand painted with traditional glazes. The patterned detail of the Buddha's flowing robe and wrinkled skin makes this a particularly fine example of Shiwan cermics. Shiwan, China has been a center for artistic pottery since the Tang Dynasty. Collectors of Oriental art and ceramics will recognize the continued influence of Shiwan ceramics.
Met Metta,
