Original Description:
Chinese Qing Dynasty 18thCentury Alms Bowl Buddha Figure
Wonderfully detailed 18thcentury gesso and painted wood alms bowl Buddha figure. This figure was handcarved (you can see the adze cutting on the base), covered in gesso and thenpainted brown. The detail of the carving is exceptional. The form of headdress, the robe style and form of production date it to the 1700s. The Buddha is shownseated with arms bent at elbows, holding an alms bowl at chest level. Thefigure signifies comp...assion and caring for all beings. There is an offeringhole in the back and it still has the offering in it wrapped in red paper. Thispiece has been in continual use since the 18th century whichexplains the wear shown over the complete piece.
The figure is in goodcondition for its age and use. It is amazing that the piece has not crackedwhich may be the result of being made of a denser exotic wood than otherfigures.
This is an exceptionalfigure in the detail of the work and the amount of remaining paint and gessofor its age. Figures of alms bowl Buddha’s are harder to find but signify animportant aspect of Buddhist belief. Dimensions: Height 7 3/4 inch (19.68cm), Greatest Depth 1 3/4 inch (4.45 cm), Greatest Width 2 7/8 inch (7.3 cm).                                                                                       If you have any questions or requireadditional information please call me at 520-429-0177.  Note:For International sales, buyer is responsible for shipping and import dutytaxes.
