Description
Note: Pickup/Transport required. Contacts available post auction. This imposing Hotei, or “Laughing Buddha,” is a classic symbol of happiness and abundance, masterfully rendered in heavy terra cotta. The figure is depicted in a traditional seated pose, holding prayer beads in his right hand and draped in flowing robes featuring a subtle relief pattern and a floral medallion on the sleeve. The piece is finished in an attractive aged bronze-tone paint, giving it the stately presence of metalwork with the organic character of clay. While no manufacturer’s mark is visible, the style is reminiscent of mid-20th-century architectural garden statuary. The item is in good vintage condition, showing typical surface wear, minor paint loss, and small scuffs consistent with its material and age as an outdoor or conservatory accent. H 22″, W 19″, D 19″ Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly. Please note: Buyer is responsible for removal. From the Hollywood Blvd. Cinemas Collection.
