This Chinese sculpture, dating from the late Ming to early Qing dynasty, depicts a seated Buddha figure in the vajraparyankasana posture. Carved from nephrite stone, the piece displays a pale celadon tone accented by natural brown russet veining and darker inclusions across the lower section. The hand details show the right hand in varada mudra and the left in dhyanamudra, while the figure wears voluminous draped robes and a topknot ushnisha. Measuring 5.8 cm in height, the sculpture exhibits smooth carved curves and traditional figurative styling. Suitable for placement on a gentleman's library sideboard or a decorative display shelf, this jade figure introduces a calm historical accent to interior spaces. The compact scale allows it to fit easily into smaller display areas while maintaining a detailed presence. The carved stone composition coordinates well with traditional wooden surfaces and contemporary tabletop displays alike.

FAQs

Jade carvings from these historical periods are noted for utilizing natural stone inclusions, refined lapidary techniques, and traditional Buddhist or Daoist iconography.

Carvers predominantly used nephrite jade, prized for its toughness, waxy lustre, and varied natural colour tones ranging from pale celadon to rich russet brown.

Authentic historical pieces typically display hand-carved tool marks, natural differential weathering, subtle wear patterns around crevices, and skilled integration of natural skin colours into the design.

Position the figure on a minimalist wooden pedestal, console table, or lit display alcove to allow its silhouette and natural stone translucency to serve as a focal point.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, ultrasonics, or sudden temperature shifts that could fracture the stone.
