A BLANC-DE-CHINE FIGURE OF DAMO (BODHIDHARMA) QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

seated on a jagged rock plinth with the left leg raised in lalitasana, the figure dressed in loose fitted robes opening at the chest, his hands clasped beneath the voluminous folds of his long layered robes above his raised knee, his head slightly turned to the right with finely defined features and penetrating gaze, the heavy brows and beard with tight curls

The Damo has minor (circa 0.3cm) firing cracks running along the chest, the feet, and the neckline to the back of the figure. There is a trace amount of burst glaze bubbles and the glaze is rubbed in places but is otherwise in good condition.
