A CHINESE AMBER LUOHAN ORNAMENT

拍品描述

Standing 10 cm tall and 6.5 cm wide, this charming sculptural piece is carved from translucent warm amber showcasing natural honey-toned tonal gradients and attractive light refraction. The seated Luohan wears a cheerful facial expression with delicately carved features, gently cradling a detailed mythical beast alongside soft, naturalistic drapery folds. The amber carving rests upon an intricately openwork hardwood stand adorned with swirling cloud motifs and compact feet. Polished carving techniques accentuate the gemstone's luminous clarity. Full of auspicious iconographic detail, this refined ornament serves as a delightful centrepiece for curated collections of Chinese hardstone Buddhist decorative works.
