Exclusive Collection Pagoda Female

Hand-painted, magnificent, and timelessly beautiful - "Pagoda, Female" is a true masterpiece of porcelain art.
The Laughing Buddha symbolizes joy in life and the purest sense of deep contentment. Among the many cultures that have inspired artists of the MEISSEN manufactory, the world of Asia holds a special place.

This version of the humorous Buddha figure, at 32 cm the largest of its kind, was created in 1731 by Johann Joachim Kaendler, master modeler at MEISSEN. Kaendler was renowned for his ability to craft both Christian saintly figures and multiple variations of the Buddha in works of unparalleled artistry.

Like its other variations, the sculpture is hand-painted and stands as a quintessential example of traditional MEISSEN craftsmanship. With a delicately balanced suspension inside the body, the hands and head of the Buddha are movable - a refined detail that adds to the unique character of the piece.

As part of the Exclusive Collection of the MEISSEN manufactory, this extraordinary artwork continues to be produced exclusively for you and meticulously hand-painted with the greatest care.
