Mahakasyapa, also known as the dragon taming arhat, is depicted in this okimono holding a dragon with his left hand and the peach of immortality in his right. Sculpted from a beautiful piece of ivory, the ahrat’s face is rendered in great clarity, from the expressive eyes to the very shape of his face; cheekbones and protruding chin giving the impression of an aged and weathered being. Etched details like his stubble, eyebrows, and speckled hair add to this affect, as he sits in the lotus position watching over the dragon, who's depiction is as equally painstakingly rendered. The creature’s long carved through whiskers spill onto Mahakasyapa’s wide lap as he purposefully holds the peach of immortality just beyond its gaping jaws. A unique piece carved from a beautiful piece of ivory; with age cracks, and in fair condition.
