Exclusive Collection Pagoda Male

Hand-painted, beautiful and refreshingly timeless - "Pagoda, Male" is a true work of art. The smiling Buddha stands for joie de vivre and pure, deeply felt contentment. Among the many cultures that have inspired Meissen artists, the world of Asia holds a special place. This variant of the humorous Buddha figure, which at 32 cm high is the largest of its siblings, was created by Meissen master modeller Johann Joachim Kaendler in 1731, who created both the Christian saint figures and various versions of the Buddha figure with masterly craftsmanship. The sculpture, like its other variations, is hand-painted as a typical work of Meissen craftsmanship. The mobility of the Buddha figure's hands and head is made possible by a cleverly balanced suspension inside the body. As part of the Meissen manufactory's exclusive collection, this beautiful work of art is made and hand-painted exclusively for you.
