A CHINESE HUANGHUALI LUOHAN SCULPTURE

拍品描述

Standing 42 cm tall with a width of 31 cm, this refined carving depicts a seated luohan meticulously sculpted from premium huanghuali timber showcasing warm, flowing natural grain across its polished surface. The monk sits in serene full lotus posture, hands arranged in a precise ritual mudra at chest height, with a calm, softly smiling facial expression conveying inner tranquility. Naturalistic folds drape his monastic robes, sharply defined by skilled chiselwork. The figure rests atop a separately fashioned dark wooden lotus pedestal with layered, intricately moulded petals. Harmonious proportions and superb woodcraft render this devotional piece a distinguished acquisition for curated collections of classical Chinese wooden Buddhist statuary.
