Description from the seller
Chinese sculpture in red coral depicting a lady with a fan
Elegant Chinese sculpture finely carved in natural red coral, depicting a court lady in an elegant pose while holding a folding fan. The work stands out for the refined detailing: the elaborate hairstyle, the soft folds of the garments, and the delicate features of the face testify to notable artisanal skill.
The figure is portrayed in a sinuous and harmonious posture, typical of the female iconography of the Eastern tradition, symbol of elegance, grace and prosperity. The warm orange-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 shaped black base, which enhances its visual presence and ensures stability for display.
