It is the whole idea of the piece: a face everyone knows by its smile, covered, and still unmistakably laughing from the eyes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe figure.\u003c\/strong\u003e Budai is carved in \u003cstrong\u003esatin gold\u003c\/strong\u003e, deeply recessed into the niche — the open robe, the round belly, the folds pooling around him, prayer beads running through one hand, seated on a scrolled cloud base. A \u003cstrong\u003ebeaded chain with a small diamond-set pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e hangs at his chest, so the figure is wearing jewelry of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ground behind him\u003c\/strong\u003e is cut into a \u003cstrong\u003efine radiating sunburst\u003c\/strong\u003e, every ray engraved, so the figure sits against light rather than against a blank field. The niche is genuinely deep — the frame wall stands well clear of the carving, and the piece is read through that opening like a shrine rather than a plaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stones frame, they do not cover.\u003c\/strong\u003e A single row of round diamonds runs the \u003cstrong\u003efull perimeter of the arch\u003c\/strong\u003e in a raised bezel, and the piece is topped by a \u003cstrong\u003efully pavé-set trophy cup\u003c\/strong\u003e with two handles. Nothing is set on the Buddha himself except the little pendant at his chest. 6.3tcw across 320 stones, all of it around the edge and above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e3.25\" tall and 185g in 18K\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a heavy piece, and the \u003cstrong\u003ebail opening is 10mm\u003c\/strong\u003e — it wants a thick Cuban or rope under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBudai is the wandering monk of Chinese folklore, not the historical Buddha.
