Here Hotei sits on huge bag of rice or gifts, symbol of abundance and riches. His laughing face radiates
benevolance; pendulous earlobs rest on his bare shoulders, representing his great wisdom. Five children cavort upon Hotei's immense
body. Hotei's right hand gently holds a playful child while his left hand rests lightly upon his
knee. He is the Buddhist Maitreya, the Buddha to come, and his robe is meticulously embellished in subdued colors with floral designs and auspicious symbols,
as is his bountiful bag of rice/gifts. He is hand-carved in China of alabaster
stone. (Due to the handmade nature of this Hotei, no two are exactly alike. Price includes
free shipping and handling within the continental United States.) HOT-3 Hotei of Abundance
4-1/2" high x 6" wide x 4" deep
Price: $135
