Description from the seller
Chinese sculpture in red coral depicting a lady with flowers
Elegant Chinese sculpture finely carved in natural red coral, depicting a court lady in a graceful pose while holding a bouquet of flowers. The work stands out for the refined workmanship of the details: the elaborate hairstyle, the soft folds of the garments and the delicate features of the face testify to notable artisanal skill.
The figure is represented in a sinuous and harmonious attitude, typical of the female iconography of the Eastern tradition, symbol of elegance, grace and prosperity. The warm pink-red color of the material enhances the quality of the carving and gives the sculpture a strong decorative impact.
The sculpture is mounted on a black shaped base, which enhances its stage presence and ensures stability for display.
