A large, dark grey statue of a laughing Buddha (Hotei/Budai) is prominently featured, set against a uniformly light grey, overcast sky in Tây Hoa Lư Ward, Vietnam
A large, dark grey statue of a laughing Buddha (Hotei/Budai) is prominently featured, set against a uniformly light grey, overcast sky in Tây Hoa Lư Ward, Vietnam. The statue depicts a figure with a wide, joyful smile, prominent belly with a distinct, eye-like navel, and flowing robes tied at the waist. Its right arm (viewer's left) is raised, and its left hand (viewer's right) holds a dark, fan-like object. Branches with green leaves partially obscure the upper left and central areas of the statue. To the right, a vertical Buddhist flag with horizontal stripes of blue, yellow, red, white, and orange is displayed on a pole. The lower right portion of the image shows a segment of a light-colored, ornate stone balustrade with decorative finials.
