Bodhidharma

Zen Master On Waves

Origin: China. Circa: early 20th century
H 11 in.(28cm.), W 2.5 in.(6cm.), D 2.5 in.(6cm.)
Condition: minor age cracks, o.a. very good!
Rendered with elegance in the Ming style, the simple but highly stylized lines of contour imbue the Bodhidharma with a commanding and spiritual presence, somehow extended into the unearthly third dimension. Expertly carved from a beautiful piece of teak wood; the face of the master appears to be in deep contemplation, his high cheek bones accentuate his downward cast eyes, carved in depth right down to the pupils. The curve of his lips reveals a faint whiff of the sensual, while the snail curved hair of his beard and eyebrows indicate his Indian origins. Though the piece does show some minor cracks in the wood due to its age, it is otherwise an attractive figure in very good condition.
