Chinese Mammoth Ivory Carving
Bodidharma
Daruma Buddha
Circa: 20th Century
H 6.5in.(16.5cm.), W 2.5in.(6cm.), D 1.5in.(4cm.)
Condition: Very Good

Deeply carved with beautiful scrimshaw in a detailed Chinese robe. This spirited ivory carving depicts Bodhidharma, the chief of the Six Patriarchs of Buddhism. Though worshipped in China, the Bodhidharma's facial features reveal his non-Chinese origin. In fact, the blue eyed Brahmin was an Indian Buddhist missionary of royal decent, who arrived China in A.D. 526. His name in Chinese is Da Mo (Greater than Evil). He is also regarded as the founder of Zen Buddhism in Japan, where he is known as Daruma, the God of Fortune. He teaches that perfection must be sought inward through meditation rather than outward observances.

Carved from a mammoth tusk and standing at 6.5 inches tall, this statue of Bodhidharma has a beautiful cream white patina with a even shine, and appears to be 50 years of age. There is a tiny chip on the base but with no other damage, it is in very good condition.
