A CHINESE ZITAN NICHE WITH SPINACH JADE SHAKYAMUNI

拍品描述

The seated Shakyamuni jade statuette measures 8.5 x 4.5 x 14 cm, while the hexagonal zitan shrine reaches overall dimensions of 35 x 30 x 31 cm, with a combined weight of 654 grams. Deep-green polished spinach jade renders the Buddha?s serene facial features, draped monastic robes and calm meditative posture with delicate precision. The elaborately constructed zitan niche features intricately carved upturned eaves, slender supporting pillars, balustraded railings and richly patterned tiered plinths boasting fine floral reliefs. Deep lustrous wood grain accentuates meticulous joinery and traditional pavilion architecture. Harmoniously assembled, this refined devotional ensemble represents a superb museum-calibre acquisition for premium collections of Chinese Buddhist wood and jade ritual furnishings.
