Lot details

China, 1662-1722. Well modeled standing, dressed in pale yellow, emerald-green, and aubergine garments tied at the waist with a simple belt gracefully falling to his feet, holding a sacred jewel in his left hand, his right arm stretched down to the side with the palm facing outward. Jeweled beads cling tightly against the contours of his body, on his arms, wrists, and neck. On his head rests a jeweled crown with five yellow, purple, and dark green three-point panels, the narrow strands of his blue hair fall gently over his shoulders.

Provenance: US trade. Acquired from an old private estate in Florida. By repute acquired by the grandparents of the previous owner in China, c. 1940.
Condition: Good condition with minor old wear and firing flaws including small cracks and glaze drippings. Few minor losses, the base drilled with a hole probably inherent to the manufacturing process. One small tip of the crown re-attached.The back with several large firing cracks, inherent to manufacture, as expected for this type of ware. Some of these cracks were previously touched-up, as seen on the image of the statue that shows the backside. In the meantime, these touch-ups have been removed, making the firing cracks visible for better judgement of the condition. Two images of the condition after the removal of the touch-ups are located in the natural light images section below.
