描述
- lacquer
finely carved on the ruyi-shaped terminal with a caparisoned elephant standing foursquare turning its head sharply to the right, supporting an archaistic vase on its back containing a branch of coral and a ruyi sceptre, with two foreign mahouts holding a long feathery leaf and an elephant goad respectively, the arched shaft carved with a bat grasping a beribboned stone chime on the lobed rectangular central section and twin fish on the bottom panel, all against a floral diaper ground, further divided along the shaft by angular archaistic scrollwork against a key-fret ground, the side edges decorated with key-fret and the reverse incised overall with leiwen
Condition
The ruyi is in overall very good condition. There is some light retouching in areas along the edges and the lacquer is likely to have been secured at the joint between the terminal and the shaft. There is a 1 x 0.2 cm loss to the lacquer on the edge of the bottom terminal on the reverse.

拍品資料及來源
「如意」，或源於唐以前佛教僧聖使用之爪仗，後經道家引入「靈芝」形狀作如意首，至雍正朝漸成宮廷御品。然其原始功用歷久而逝，而藉由雕琢象、蝙蝠、雙魚等祥瑞紋樣，如見本品，突顯「如君所願」之意。同形如意，可比兩例，售於紐約蘇富比2006年3月30日，編號82及編號106，前者如意頭雕祥蝠穿花圖案，後者則刻高士山水景緻。
