Carved Peach Blossom Bodhisattva with rhinoceros horn

[Rhinoceros horn carved peach blossom Buddha]

Rhinoceros horn carved peach blossom Buddha, clear, 12.2 cm high, 11.5 cm bottom diameter × 9 cm
The statue of Bodhisattva is carved from African rhinoceros horn, wearing a hair crown, wearing a wide-sleeved vestment, holding a rosary in the left hand, holding Ruyi in the right hand, eyes slightly closed, and sitting on the peach blossom seat
This image is finely carved, with smooth lines, elegant and natural clothing patterns, and delicate facial expressions. Because the color of African rhinoceros horn is relatively light, and the color difference between the horn and the dark brown of the horn tip is large, the color will be dyed deeply to make the overall color deep and harmonious
This rhinoceros horn statue of Bodhisattva was donated to the Palace Museum by Mr. Ye Yi of Hong Kong in 1986
