Chinese Qing Dynasty Polychrome Hand-Carved Wooden Sage Statue, c. 1800
Located in San Francisco, CA
A Chinese Qing dynasty hand-carved wooden statue of a royal sage with original polychrome finish. Attributed to the Ming dynasty circa 1640 by a previous gallery, though overall look and Jian Ding certified export seal suggest that it more likely dates from around 1800. Regally dressed figure seated on a simple yet substantial rectangular throne, with left hand resting at his waist and right hand missing. Off-white face with a charmingly benevolent expression features a third eye above arched black eyebrows and a neat goatee. Distinguished by vibrant emerald-toned blue and green robes with red, yellow, and fuchsia accents. Compartment in back was used to hold sacred texts, prayer scrolls, and other spiritually imbued offerings. Displays handsome antique character throughout, with authentically earned wear and weathering most evident on the base. A gallery label on its underside reads “Antique Wooden Ming Dynasty Statue...
