Antique Chinese Shoushan Stone Tianhuang Carving Sage Immortal Pixiu Qing 19c
About the Item
This exceptional Chinese Shoushan stone carving is a fine example of Qing artistry and craftsmanship, featuring a Sage in a semi-seated position with a playful Pixiu beast. The head section of the carving is particularly noteworthy, exhibiting high-grade field yellow "Tianhuang" attributes, a material highly revered in Chinese art for its rarity and beauty.
The immortal Sage is intricately carved, holding a Pixiu beast in one hand as it whispers into his ear—a scene rich in symbolism and narrative depth. The Pixiu, a mythical creature, is often depicted as a symbol for wealth, good fortune, and protection. It is believed to be loyal to its owner and protects them from harm and wards off evil spirits, adding layers of meaning to this exquisite piece.
The Sage is impeccably dressed in a detailed robe, intricately accented with incised and ink filled medallions, ribbons and decorations, showcasing the carver's meticulous attention to detail. The robe itself is a marvel of craftsmanship, its intricate details serving as a testament to the skill involved in its creation.
Adding to its provenance, a two-character mark is carefully inscribed on the back of the carving. The piece is accompanied by a fitted box and a ribbon-accented stand, enhancing its presentation and collectibility.
This Shoushan stone Sage is a sublime amalgamation of artistic mastery, material excellence, and symbolic depth, making it a distinguished addition to any collection of fine Chinese art.
