Chinese Carved Wood Teaching Buddha in Ming Style
About the Item
A statue of standing Buddha (Shakyamuni), finely carved out a single block of wood (might be cypress based on the wood grains). Attired in a flowing robe with open chest, the Buddha is depicted standing with both of his hands in Vitarka Mudra. The mudra signifies the transmission of his wisdom and teachings. The realistic styling of the Buddha with its benevolent facial expression and the central protrusion on his head among large hair knots was popular in China during Ming dynasty. The statue was likely poly-chrome colored at one time as there is still blue pigment residue remaining on the hairs as well as the lower part of his robe. As an estate collection piece without provenance, we estimate that the statue was likely made during Qing dynasty in the Ming style (19th century) although it is possibly much older. We encourage you to seek for independent expert advice before purchasing.

Chinese Stoneware Funeral Shrine Model and Figure Ming Dynasty
Located in Atlanta, GA
A stoneware shrine model with a figurine made in Ming dynasty (15th-17th century) in China and used as funeral burial objects. It is not known whether the two objects were originally associated, but they display similar glaze and oxidation and were in the same collection. The stoneware building is an architectural rendering of a typical ancestor shrine used at the time. It features a single room behind an elaborate front with double doors, under a multiple layered eaves. There are great architectural and decorative details throughout. The green glaze shows a wonderful silvery oxidation, an indication that the piece was buried in the ground. The side appears to be glazed lightly originally and some scrape marks and oxidized glaze residues remains. The back is unglazed. The figure is a typical tomb figurine...
