History & description
Museum Collection _ Not For Sale
This exquisite artwork is a masterful carving of a Chinese immortal lady, rendered in the finest quality jade. The intricate details of the flowing traditional attire are so finely wrought that they appear to be in motion. The lady's left hand gracefully holds a plain silk fan, adding to the sense of delicate beauty and simplicity.
The right hand of the figure is sculpted in a "Mudra" hand gesture, evoking a sense of peace and spirituality. The artist has employed the natural texture and color of the jade to create a subtle and elegant effect, giving the sculpture depth and dimensionality.
The overall impression is one of extraordinary craftsmanship and artistry, capturing the grace and poise of the traditional Chinese immortal lady. This stunning work of art is a testament to the skill of the artist and a celebration of Chinese culture, making it a truly remarkable piece.
