This exquisite 18th century Chinese jade sculpture, titled
EDITORS COMMENTS
Quails with Branches of 'Buddha's Hand' (Foshou) and Flowers," showcases the intricate artistry and cultural significance of ancient Chinese art. The sculpture, believed to be from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), features a pair of quails perched gracefully on branches of 'Buddha's Hand,' also known as the Finger Citron or Citrus Medica Sarcodactylis. The branches are intricately carved with delicate flowers and foliage, adding to the overall beauty of the piece. The quails, with their fine details and lifelike expressions, are expertly crafted from abraded jade, a technique that involves smoothing the surface of the jade to reveal its natural colors and patterns. The use of jade in Chinese art is deeply rooted in tradition, symbolizing wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. The inclusion of 'Buddha's Hand' branches in the sculpture adds an additional layer of meaning, as the fruit is believed to represent longevity and good luck in Chinese culture. The combination of the quails and the 'Buddha's Hand' branches creates a harmonious balance between nature and animal life, reflecting the deep connection between the two in Chinese philosophy. This sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of China and the intricate craftsmanship of its artisans. It is a rare and valuable addition to any collection of Asian art and a reminder of the beauty and significance of the natural world in Chinese culture."
