This standing Budai pocket figure – the laughing Buddha with both arms raised and a bare, round belly – fits comfortably in the palm. Cast in a copper alloy (bronze or brass) in China in the late 19th century, it now wears a dark patina with green oxidation from years of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinese characters sit on the belly and again on the back, written by hand in black ink rather than cast into the metal. A few remain readable; an ink inscription alone does not prove age. Those signs of use are exactly what make this collectible pocket figure so appealing – perfect on a desk, altar or in a cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDark patina with green oxidation, wear and light residues consistent with long handling.
