History & description
Museum Collection _ Not For Sale
Amidst the cotton candy clouds, a stunning coral sculpture of an immortal girl captures the essence of ethereal beauty. Her flowing Chinese traditional attire drapes over her body like a cascade of gentle waves, while a long silk fan is elegantly held by her right hand, poised beside her face as if to catch the whispers of the wind. Adorned with a hairpin in her hair and a jade buckle pendant tied to her silk belt, she embodies the elegance and grace of ancient Chinese women. As she stands on the celestial cloud, she seems to radiate serenity and tranquility, a perfect embodiment of the immortal world. The intricate carving work of the coral adds to the charm and allure of the sculpture, making it a timeless piece of art that captures the imagination and transports one to a world of beauty and enchantment.
