History & description
Museum Collection _ Not For Sale
The exquisite jade sculpture captures the essence of a Chinese ancient woman in all her grace and elegance. Adorned in a traditional attire, the woman is depicted with intricate details and delicate craftsmanship. A beautiful flower is placed gracefully atop her head, enhancing her stunning appearance. With her right hand placed behind her back, she holds a round silk fan in her left hand, with lotus flowers embroidered on it. The woman's poise posture suggests that she is stepping forward with a gentle stride, bringing an aura of sophistication and grace to the sculpture. The jade material further enhances the sculpture's intricate and refined beauty, exuding a sense of timelessness and elegance.
The jade material itself is highly prized for its metaphysical properties, and has long been associated with good luck, prosperity, and harmony. As a symbol of purity and serenity, jade has been used in spiritual practices for centuries, believed to enhance inner peace and wisdom, while also promoting physical healing and emotional balance.
