Ming and Qing old-material full-colour jadeite / Making Buddha statues like Tathagata

Specifications: L×W×H 108×46×24 mm, Weight: 172 g Material: Natural Grade A Jadeite

Craftsmanship:Carefully selected ancient jade rough dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The stone boasts saturated, uniform rich color and profound antique charm, endowed with the exclusive mellow patina unique to vintage jadeite. Freely sculpted in three dimensions from the original raw stone, this work depicts the Tathagata receiving pilgrims. The Buddha features a full luminous aureole, a merciful and dignified divine countenance, serene mudras and a tranquil, solemn bearing. The natural shape of the jade material is ingeniously utilized; an ancient grotto is carved on one side, with stone steps stretching from the cliff base straight to the Buddha statue.

Symbolism:The steps symbolize advancing toward Buddhism step by step on the path of spiritual practice, depicting crowds of devotees paying homage at the foot of the sacred mountain with a strong narrative scene. Natural yellow jadeite rind is retained at the bottom, with a seamless transition between yellow and green hues. Unrestrained carving fully embodies the vicissitudes of ancient jade relics. In Buddhist symbolism, this piece dispels mortal worries, blesses the wearer with peace and smooth fortune, and cultivates both blessings and wisdom. Vintage jadeite rough of this quality is extremely scarce, overflowing with antique Zen ambiance. It is a rare one-of-a-kind treasure ideal for Buddhist worship, high-end collection, or antique ornament display.
