About the Item

A wonderful vintage to near antique Chinese nephrite jade carving of Damo (Bodhidharma), with an associated carved hardwood stand, early to mid 20th century, possibly Republic Period, China. The sculpture depicts Bodhidharma, known as Damo in China, the revered Indian monk and ascetic credited for bringing Chan Buddhism to China in the 5th century. Damo is portrayed in a relaxed pose, lounging upon his thin robes between two rocky outcrops studded with birds. He wears loose fitting garments that hang off his thin frame. His robes partially open to reveal his emaciated chest. A large strand of prayer beads, mala, draped over his shoulder. His wide brimmed hat rests against rocks next to him. Carved from a single piece of grayish celadon nephrite jade. One side with a small patch of russet "skin". Presented on an associated Chinese carved hardwood stand of root wood design. Provenance: The estate of a prominent University of Texas professor
