A GROUP OF THREE SOAPSTONE CARVINGS OF LUOHAN
17TH-18TH CENTURY
The first figure is modelled seated cross-legged, draped in long robes which are delicately incised to the hems, with the back incised with two characters reading Zi Xiu. The second luohan is also seated cross-legged with his hands holding open the hem of his robes at his chest to reveal a small Sakyamuni head, with the back signed Shang Jun. The third figure is seated on a rock with one knee raised, holding a string of beads, with his head tilted inquisitively to one side, the back incised with the signature Yu Xuan.
The largest 3 ½ in. (8.9 cm.) high
