Vertical Chinese hanging scroll depicting the Laughing Buddha (Budai), a traditional symbol of happiness, abundance, and good fortune. The central image shows Budai smiling broadly while holding a child, a popular auspicious theme associated with prosperity, joy, and family blessings. Above the figure is bold Chinese calligraphy reading “笑口常開” (“May your mouth always be open in laughter” / “Always be happy”). The artwork is mounted on a red textile backing with wooden dowels at top and bottom, designed for wall display. Likely mid–late 20th century decorative scroll, suitable for home décor, meditation spaces, or collectors of Asian art.
