A CHINESE ROCK CRYSTAL BUDDHA

拍品描述

Standing 12 cm high and 7.5 cm across, this serene Buddha sculpture is meticulously carved from natural transparent rock crystal that features faint inherent mineral veils and subtle internal inclusions lending organic texture. The deity settles in a steady cross-legged lotus pose atop a neatly faceted pedestal, hands held resting within draped monastic robes with softly sculpted folds. Traditional tightly curled hair forms the ushnisha atop a calm face bearing peaceful, subdued facial features. Bright crystalline transparency casts delicate light refractions across the polished surfaces. Elegant and devotional, this refined statuary makes a graceful addition to curated collections of Chinese hardstone Buddhist carvings.
