🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES (IF KNOWN):
This figure represents Budai (Hotei in Japanese), the laughing monk revered across China as a bringer of joy and abundance. Such carvings were widely made in the mid-20th century by artisans working in the mudiao tradition, often in regional centers such as Dongyang, Zhejiang Province. Carved from solid hardwood, the figure shows tool marks and patina consistent with hand craftsmanship rather than mass-production.
