A PALE GREEN JADE FIGURE OF BUDDHA QING DYNASTY, 18TH/19TH CENTURY

carved seated in dhyanasana, wearing a long flowing robe opened at the front, the face with a serene expression with downcast eyes and a gentle smile, the tightly curled hair surmounted by an ushnisha atop, the stone of a pale green tone with opaque white and russet-brown inclusions

The carving is in very good condition with the exception of a tiny nick to the bottom front edge of the folds of the robe. It should be noted that the stone is of a slightly darker celadon tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest..
