AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Blanc-de-Chine sculpture – Man with water buffalo
Beautifully formed porcelain figure of a seated man on a resting water buffalo. The work is executed in warm, ivory-white porcelain in the distinctive Blanc-de-Chine style from Dehua (China).
The image shows a gracefully modeled figure with striking earrings and detailed facial features. The relaxed posture of both the man and the animal gives the piece a calm, almost meditative appearance. The soft sheen of the porcelain and the flowing lines of the modeling emphasize the quality of craftsmanship. A human figure on a buffalo is often used to symbolize wisdom, simplicity, or spiritual calm. This aligns with various traditional representations in Chinese art.
