Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, in Sanskrit, or Siddhattha Gotama, in Pali, was a spiritual teacher from ancient India and the founder of Buddhism. The Buddha image portrays the traditional figure of the meditative Yogin, transcendent in his mental powers yet very much a part of this world. Many a time, he is surrounded by images of radiance and abundance, the sun disc and the trees, and supported by lions, emblems of his royal position. While his placement atop a lion throne, and the presence of two attendants holding chowries, serve to emphasize his regal position, at the same time, his Yogic posture, humble robe and gestures of reassurance embody the spiritual nature of his message. This image remained the primary source for subsequent figures of Buddha through Asia. One of the consistencies of Buddhist art in India was the retention of this essentially human image, even when it was surrounded by an array of figures and images of wealth and abundance. | | | Features: | |

laughing buddhaJan 16, 2009
By Anand Prakash
It is fun and cool decoration piece. The four laughing faces are quite expressive. The fact that it is made in brass and not in usual chinaware that most of laughing Buddhas are made of, gives it a more classical look.

Bizzare and surreal-looking artifactJun 05, 2008
By Malini Verma
"WorshipperOfOrwell"
This bizzare and surreal-looking artifact has four different faces on four corners, each having a distinct expression, one sad, one angry, one happy, and one laughing. It is especially amusing to spin it around, because it gives the illusion of an animated face of a man whose expressions change rapidly from happy, sad, and angry, all in the same moment. The plump faces have been carved to great detail, with the many lines on the faces higlighting their expressions in a cartoon-ish manner.
