Collectible Introduction
Of a form of meiping, each snuff bottle is painted with a Lohan among the eighteen Buddhist Lohans. The base with 4-character mark in red. The Eighteen Arhats (Chinese: 十八羅漢/十八阿羅漢) are depicted in Mahayana Buddhism as the original followers of the Buddha who have followed the Eightfold Path and attained the Four Stages of Enlightenment. They have reached the state of Nirvana and are free of worldly cravings. They are charged to protect the Buddhist faith and to await on earth for the coming of Maitreya, a prophesied enlightened Buddha to arrive on earth many millennia after Gautama Buddha's death and nirvana. In China, the eighteen arhats are a popular subject in Buddhist art, such as the famous Chinese group of glazed pottery luohans from Yixian.
