| Description:
|
This is the Buddha statue I saw when I went to the antique shop a long time ago. I did not notice that she was a three-section work at first. I just thought that the primitive and quaint Guanyin Avalokiteshvara, plus the Holy Aureole or Buddha niche, and the lovely Golden Boy Jade Girl are very contemporary time style. When I really sit down and take a closer look at the Buddha statue, I find that in addition to the meticulous Guanshiyin Bodhisattva lotus seat statue, there are many great details, such as the Holy Aureole or the Golden Boy Jade Girl on both sides of the Buddhas niche, the style and delicate shape are very exquisite. The hexagonal ancient (Bogu) Buddha seat with a characteristic style of the times, and it is a three-section presentation that is relatively rare in stone carvings.
This white jade Guanyin Bodhisattva statue is timeless and elegant. The Buddha is dressed in a kasaya robe, sitting on a lotus seat, kerchief cover on the top of the head, and draped along the shoulders, with a high bun, a peaceful expression, looking down with both eyes, and seeing the world in three-pointed eyes, containing the treasure of charity, holding a treasure bottle of immortal medicine in both hands and placing it on the chest. Wearing a heavenly robe, the robe is neatly decorated, the clothes are smooth and vivid, and they are naturally drooping, extremely realistic. The Holy Aureole or the Buddhas niche, the carving is gorgeous, Golden boy and jade girl on both sides, lively, and smile. Hexagonal ancient Buddha seat, neatly carved, each side is decorated with square patterns, flowers, fruits and other decorations, it is a boastful and elegant style. |
