History & description
Museum Collection _ Not For Sale
The malachite sculpture depicts a majestic Chinese goddess, adorned in traditional Chinese attire with a flowing silk scarf that elegantly drapes around her. Her hair is styled with a delicate yet elaborate hairpin, adding to her regal appearance. In her left hand, she holds a sprig of herbs, its aromatic scent filling the air around her.
As she stands there, a small rabbit appears at her feet, gazing up at the goddess with innocent curiosity. The rabbit seems to be attempting to climb onto her scarf, perhaps drawn to the herbs or simply enchanted by the goddess's presence.
Meanwhile, the goddess holds a whip in her right hand, its presence a symbol of her strength and power. Her hand is positioned behind her body, as if ready to strike at any moment should the need arise.
The intricate details of the malachite sculpture bring this captivating scene to life, and one can almost feel the goddess's aura of wisdom and authority emanating from the piece.
