AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
What are Arhats? Arhats (Luohans in Chinese) are enlightened monks in Buddhism who have attained nirvana.
The Eighteen Arhats are specific disciples of the Buddha who were designated to preserve the dharma (the teaching) until the coming of the future Buddha Maitreya.
Material: Boxwood (huangyang), highly valued for its fine texture, warm honey-colored patina, and suitability for detailed carving
Composition: The arhats are depicted in a vivid mountainous landscape with clouds, pines, and rocks - typical of Chinese religious iconography
Dynamism/Expression: Each arhat has unique features, poses, and attributes (staff, scroll, dragon) that tell their individual stories
Cultural meaning: These brushpots were essential writing implements for Chinese scholars and officials. The arhat theme combines spiritual protection with artistic refinement - ideal for the study of a literate person.
The brushpot is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packed and insured shipping.
This object can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay shipping once.
