About the Item
A finely carved figure in natural lapis lazuli depicting a serene, seated immortal or youthful bodhisattva. The figure wears flowing robes with well-defined folds and a high topknot hairstyle, typical of Buddhist and Daoist iconography. The expression is calm and introspective, with softly rounded facial features.
To the figure’s right, a small mythical creature—possibly a qilin, pixiu, or guardian lion—climbs upward, symbolizing protection and auspicious power. The carving displays natural lapis lazuli coloration, with deep blue tones accented by white calcite streaks and golden pyrite inclusions.
The sculpture rests on an intricately carved hardwood stand, featuring openwork scroll motifs characteristic of late Qing craftsmanship.
This piece exemplifies traditional Chinese stone carving techniques using lapis lazuli, a prized semi-precious material and valued for its spiritual associations. The depiction of an immortal with an attendant beast reflects themes of protection, wisdom, and longevity in Chinese religious art.
Overall good condition with expected minor wear to protruding areas. Natural mineral variations and surface patina consistent with age. No major structural cracks. The base is well preserved.
