A PALE CELADON JADE CARVING OF A SEATED BUDDHA
QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY
The figure is well carved with pendulous ears and eyes downcast to give an impression of gentle contemplation, the hands held in dhyanamudra supporting a sphere, seated in dhyanasana under the voluminous outer robe fallen in folds around the base, the inner robe gathered across the midriff with a bow revealing the bare chest. The stone is of an even, pale greenish tone with concentrated areas of faint russet specks on the back.
7 ¼ in. (18.5 cm.) high, gilt-metal stand

Buddhism flourished during the Qing dynasty, and was encouraged by the devotion of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors. As a result of its popularity, the production of Buddhist statuary, ritual objects, vessels and other implements became widespread, and a variety of materials were employed in their manufacture including jade. Compare a smaller celadon jade carving of Buddha (13.6 cm.) in the Palace Museum Collection, illustrated in Zhongguo yuqi quanji, vol. 6, Shijiazhuang, 1991, no. 334. Another similar carving of a seated Buddha was sold at Christie’s Paris, 12 December 2019, lot 132.
