18th C. Thai Gilt Wood Buddha of Songachai

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $150**

Southeast Asia, Thailand, mid to late 18th century CE. A finely carved wooden statue of Songachai (Ho Tai in Chinese) - the Happy Buddha - intended to bring good fortune to its owner, sitting upon an integral pedestal with traces of red pigentation and nicely carved fluting. The comfortably seated, rather rotund Buddha presents a jovial countenance with his generous smile. He wears a billowing robe over his portly belly, perfect to rub for good luck. Size: 4.625" W x 8.625" H (11.7 cm x 21.9 cm)

In actuality, Songachai/Ho Tai is not the historical Buddha; instead he represents a revered Chinese Monk who was famous for his Buddhist sermons and his bag of gifts/money which he gave to children to reward them for learning about Dharma. As opposed to the Historical Buddha who is typically shown with an elegant body, a curly coiffure, robes that reveal only one shoulder, and a calm expression, Songachai/Ho Tai (Happy Buddha) is usually depicted with a plump body and a great smile.
