## The gift-giving Budai and his bowl of fruit

This is the gift-giving Budai: seated, smiling, with a shallow bowl of carved fruit resting in his lap and offered slightly forward. In Chinese tradition the bowl and the sack are what mark him out, as a wandering monk who carried what he was given and gave it away again. The abundance the form stands for is why it so often goes near an entrance or a place where guests are received.

It is carved in Vietnam white marble, milky white and fine-crystalline, with soft low-contrast grey veining and a little translucency where the stone thins. The surface carries a soft satin polish with the tool marks left in place; the fruit in the bowl is where the carving is most detailed, and the gentle sheen keeps those small forms distinct instead of merging them under a hard shine.

## An 18-inch Buddha on a ledge, and commissioning yours

At 18 inches this is a tabletop or ledge piece. It suits a veranda corner, a patio table, a planter ledge, or a garden alcove beside a path. It also takes sheltered outdoor placement comfortably, which is the usual reason this size is chosen over a purely indoor material. Placed at roughly seated eye level, the offered bowl reads the way it is meant to.

Every piece is made to order. This one is carved for you by the master sculptors we work with in Jaipur. We develop the design with you, brief the sculptor, and follow it through to delivery at your door. The gift-giving form is often ordered larger for an entrance, and in Makrana white marble or black stone. Send us the spot and we will quote it.
