EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century Chinese ivory carving, titled "Chinese Lion Guarding the Jewel of the Buddha," showcases the intricate artistry and cultural significance of Chinese and Buddhist heritage. The lifelike lion, with its fierce expression and raised paw, is meticulously hand-carved from ivory and adorned with sumi inlays. The lion's mane and body are intricately detailed, with each strand of hair appearing distinct and lifelike. The lion's role in this artwork is to protect the precious Jewel of the Buddha, which is not visible in this image. The lion's snarling expression and regal posture convey a sense of power and determination, reflecting the deep reverence for the Buddha and the importance of guarding sacred objects in Chinese and Buddhist culture. This artwork, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of China, is a stunning example of the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized Chinese ivory carvings of the eighteenth century. Currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), this piece is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, Buddhism, or the history of fashion and accessories.
