Posted By: Bill H Tue, Nov 21, 2017 Here's another Budai Heshang (Cloth Sack Monk) with the Wei Hongtai mark. If it isn't by the master, then someone lavished an enormous amount of work on the image in hopes they could emulate him. Both yours and mine appear to have been slip-cast, a technique Tony Allen dates to probably the 2nd quarter of the 20th century in his latest book, "Allen's Antique Chinese Porcelain -- The Detection of Fakes" |

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Nov 26, 2017 The base on a slip-cast item usually has a vent hole, such as seen on the base of my Wei Hongtai-marked Budai. The interior typically is smooth, and the walls are thin all-around. Figurines made using a press mold are thicker, and if a vent hole is present, fingerprints sometimes can be seen in the biscuit inside and outside of the piece. This is the case with the image in the photos below of a late Ming-to-Qing Transitional Period (ca 1620-1683) sancai stoneware image of Hva Shang. In the Tibetan language, this term, which simply means "monk" in Chinese, has come to signify the Buddhist divinity who serves alongside the Tiger-taming Dharmatala and the Four Lokapala Guardian Kings in defending the faith and particularly in protecting the original 16 Arhats or Sages, called Luohan in Chinese. Some Buddhists consider Hva Shang and Dharmatala, in fact, also to be Arhats. This divinity has evolved in Chinese and Japanese Buddhism as the Cloth Sack Monk, an avatar of the Bodhisattva Maitreya. |

Posted By: George Bain Sun, Nov 26, 2017 those links are very interesting i cant believe the prices, i've linked one from ebay, also there were two Wei Hong Tai Buddhas on ebay that sold for £6000 each! so they are this valuable even if they were not made by Wei Hong Tai himself? |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Nov 27, 2017 The criss-cross pattern, in the case of my Budai image, has to do with it being placed on an absorbent fabric surface for the base to dry after being attached to the semi-finished image before painting and firing took place. |
