Hardstone figurine - China
Hardstone figurine - China. When you read the list of "ingredients" (the number of precious and semi-precious stones) that make up this figure, you wonder how they can all be used to create something meaningful? And then you look at this Asian girl - the collective image of China - and are amazed at how well it all fits together!
Then you are struck by the details (some of them are almost hidden): dragons, fish, a traditional pagoda set in her hair above her forehead, adorned with a jewel, dangling earrings, delicate flowers on her fan, and textures and colors in her clothes.
All this contrasts with the pure and simple beauty of her flawless face - pale and very feminine, and almost transparent lips. With a thin white collar framing it. Depending on your vantage point, her gaze changes from deep, dark and passive. To the fiery red that wants to burn a hole in your soul.
If you buy this sculpture, be prepared for a lot of conversations and "tours" with friends and family. They will love it, too! And perhaps this will give an impetus to start a new collection, a collection of real stone-carving art, which will be passed down from generation to generation?
Hardstone figurine was hand carved from: Belarusian flint, Jasper Picasso, Irkutsk jade, Chrysoprase, Gazgan marble, Honey quartz, silver, gilding
Height: 24 cm
