A large, bronze-colored statue of a laughing Buddha (Hotei/Budai) stands prominently outdoors in West Jakarta, Indonesia. The statue, depicting a bald figure with a prominent belly and a wide, smiling expression, holds a dark, spherical object resembling a globe in its left hand. Its right hand holds a string of prayer beads, with another strand draped around its neck. The statue is situated on a decorative bronze base, which rests on a light grey, fluted pedestal. A black electrical cable is visible on the pedestal. In the background, a multi-story, white building with dark-framed windows and balconies is visible to the right. Green foliage occupies the left side of the frame. The sky is bright and appears overcast or hazy. A single individual, wearing a light-colored shirt and a face mask, is partially visible in the lower right background, near the base of the building. The scene is illuminated by daylight.
