About the Item
A masterwork of monumental lapidary craftsmanship, this exceptional sculpture presents Hvsang and his child attendants, an arhat of the Buddha, exquisitely carved from a single massive ruby specimen. Richly saturated in royal violet-red hues and polished to a lustrous sheen, the ruby radiates warmth, abundance, and auspicious energy.
Accented throughout in 24K gold vermeil, the sculpture combines fine gemstone artistry with opulent metalwork: flowing robes, symbolic wealth ingots, ancient-style coins, and joyful figures beautifully detailed in both ruby and gilded surfaces. The Buddha’s serene laughter and the playful movement of the children evoke blessings of fortune, prosperity, happiness, and long life, a cherished symbol in Chinese culture and a revered collector motif.
Surrounded by an elaborate ring of gold coins, this piece expresses not only material abundance but spiritual blessing a celebration of joyful wealth, familial harmony, and divine protection.
Tanzanian Ruby: approx weight 155,000 carats
Raised on an Obsidian base
This piece is 1 of 1 and took over 7 months to create.
Signed by the artist, Luis Alberto
