Vietnam, dated 1802. Seated in dhyanasana on a rounded plinth atop a separately carved lotus base. His raised right hand holding a lotus stem and his lowered left resting on his lap and holding a jewel, wearing long flowing robes with voluminous folds. His serene face with heavy-lidded eyes, finely textured beard, and full lips, flanked by long pendulous earlobes, the hair arranged in strikingly modeled snail-shell curls. The figure finely lacquered in reddish-brown and gilt, the plinth and lotus base lacquered red with gilt accents. (2)
Provenance: From the private estate of Maj and Carl-Axel Persson, antique dealers in Malmö, Sweden.
Condition: Good condition commensurate with age. Old wear and weathering, flaking to lacquer, expected age cracks and splits, some losses, the underside with two drilled holes. Good ancient patina overall.

The Wan'an temple was built in 1279 under the orders of Emperor Kublai Khan and was originally named Dashengshou Wan'an Temple. The White Pagoda is the oldest and largest Buddhist pagoda in China. There were temples built on the site since the Liao dynasty. However, the present building dates to the Ming dynasty as well as its given name, "Miaoying Si", meaning "Temple of Marvellous Response".
