This is an exquisitely detailed hand carved Chinese Sculpture representing "Longevity"

This beautiful massive sculpture is made of Natural Jade Mountain, and contains lavendar and imperial green jade mixed with white jade. This sculpture shows Longevity surrounded by birds and small children. This exquisite sculpture is extremely large and rare. It is carved from a single large piece of jade, without any additional attached pieces.

The Jade Mountain Carving of Longevity is all one piece. It was carved from a boulder of jadeite found (with a skin, intact) on a mountain in Burma. This piece of jade is similar to three other boulders found in the same place 300 years before this one was found. It was originally owned in its natural state by a wealthy family in China during the Qing Dynasty (the last dynasty in China prior to the republic). In around 1908, this piece was carved into the representation of Longevity as it is shown here. It was carved by an artist very skilled at this sort of carving, however, the artist's name is unknown. This was during the reign of the very last dynastic emperor of China, Puyi or Puyin. Puyi€™s reign was very short, lasting only four years. His throne was abdicated by the Empress Dowager Longyu. Puyi was only two years old when he assumed the throne, having been born in 1906.

This piece is made even more rare by the following interesting facts. First, it is lavender, green, and white jadeite, in a very translucent color which is even more striking in person; the white color is also a very pure white. Lavender jade is very rare. This piece was photographed through glass, as it was far too heavy to move. Additionally, the other interesting fact about this piece is that in Burma, where it was found, soldiers now guard the mountains, so that no jadeite may be removed from there. This boulder of jadeite was also cut by very hard diamonds, and has a hardness of about 7 on the moh's scale (the mohs scale is between 1 and 10).

According to the seller of the piece, there is some Chinese folklore associated with it. This piece represents Longevity, a figure based on "wise men" or hermits who lived in the mountains of China and were revered by farmers. They would often advise farmers who were walking in the mountains of which way to go to arrive at their destinations safely. They were very helpful to farmers and common people, but were known to not offer their help to those in power, and as such, were very respected by farmers and common people. The carved figure of Longevity was said to bring good luck to the family who owned such a piece. Longevity is shown holding a stick and hanging a gourd. These wise men were often vegetarians, and were surrounded by children and animals such as deer. He would have been well over a hundred years old.

The other three similar boulders of jadeite were sent to a museum, and have been exhibited there since they were found. I am not sure if these other three boulders were also carved, or if they remain in their natural state.

This jade sculpture is thought to bring good luck and long life.

This finely detailed statue measures 42" tall, 18" wide, and 7" deep. Measurements are approximate.

This is an Antique Pottery Figure and Equestrian from the Tang Dynasty in China

This wonderful piece is from one of the most prosperous and powerful periods in China's history, the Tang Dynasty, existing between about 618 - 906 A.D. The Tang Dynasty was a glorious period in China's history, with a strong economy, culture, and military strength.

This wonderful sculpture depicts a woman riding a horse. Having survivied many centuries, much of the paint has come off this sculpture, though echoes of it still remain. The woman on the horse is wearing a dress that is painted red. Much of the red paint still remains. This interesting sculpture is called "worked forking," and was made specifically to be buried with its owner.

This interesting sculpture was found in a tomb from about 800 years ago. It is in good condition, considering its age. The material is unknown. The horse figure is standing on a square base, with its head held straight forward. The horse has a cropped mane, and the rider appears to be a woman wearing a full length tight fitting red tunic with a cowl at the front, and she is wearing black boots. One of her hands is by the saddle's pommel, and the other hand is at her side. Her hair is upswept into a knot on the top of her head. The rider's features are well-detailed, though some of the pottery on the face is worn.

This interesting piece is in great condition for its age. A link, below, is included, to a Christie's auction for three similar pieces, and the value is listed in the link:

From their description:

"Horse with Female Rider, Tang dynasty (618€“906), 7th century
Astana, Turfan, Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, China
Unfired clay with pigment

H. 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm)
Fletcher Fund, 1951 (51.93ab)

Sculptures such as this one, made principally of painted and glazed pottery, are known as mingqi, or spirit goods, and were placed in tombs to provide for the deceased's needs in the afterlife. Female attendants were generally produced in groups for burial in the tombs of high-ranking women. The use of unfired clay to make this charming equestrian indicates that it was produced in eastern Central Asia during a period when ties between that region and China were particularly strong.

Her ensemble consists of a tight-fitting upper garment with a V-neck, narrow sleeves, and a long flaring skirt. Her hat would have been fitted with a veil for traveling in the desert. During the early days of the Tang dynasty (618€“906) in China, this type of clothing became fashionable in the capital Chang'an and other metropolitan centers, and women also wore such hats complete with veils, to protect them from the city dust."

This piece measures 141/2" high, 11 1/2" wide, and 4" deep.

Through his translation of these texts, and dispersal of the sutras throughout China, he was the founder of the Dharma character school of Buddhism in China. The Legend of the Monkey King also tells the tale of a monkey who was born from a stone and nourished by the five elements, The Monkey King€™s name was Sun Wukong, which name was given to him by his Kung Fu master, who taught him the 72 polymorphic transformations, the art of combat in Kung Fu, and how to leap halfway around the world in a single leap.

This is a Sketch Head made by Duane Hanson for the "Fund Raiser" sculpture created in 1980

This finely detailed and life-like head is made of polyvinyl polychromed in oil.

This head was made as a sketch head for that sculpture, and is the same in nearly all ways. The woman is wearing glasses, just as in the finished sculpture, and she is wearing a scarf.

The gentleman selling this piece is the original owner, to whom it was gifted in 1983-1984. This Duane Hanson Sketch Head was a gift of the artist to a gentleman living, at the time, in Palm Beach County, Florida, where the artist also resided. For 21 years, this gentleman ran the Palm Beach County Cultural Coucil, and had the priviledge of meeting Duane Hanson in his studio a number of times. On his third visit to the studio, in around 1983-1984, he commented on the sketch heads which were at the time lined up on a table. The heads were similar to one another except for the flesh tones, which Duane Hanson was experimenting with.

Duane Hanson then took one of the sketch heads, placed it in a shopping bag, and gave it to him. This gentleman has possessed this sketch head since that time, and has been photographed with it on numerous occasions in local newspapers such as the Palm Beach Post and the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel. It was always kept in his office at the Cultural Council, and when he left there in 2003, he took it with him. At this point, he is moving to another state, to a Victorian Period house, and this sketch head would not fit in with the decor of his new home. Consequently, he has decided to sell it.

This auction includes the book by Kirk Varnedoe titled Duane Hanson. The life size polyvinyl statue for which this head was made is pictured in this book. This head measures 13" tall
