EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ivory figure from the Ming Dynasty, depicting an attendant of Hsi Wang Mu and the Peaches of Immortal. Steeped in Chinese mythology, these peaches are revered for their mystical properties that bestow longevity upon those who partake in them. The intricate details of this sculpture transport us to a bygone era, where religious beliefs and folklore were deeply intertwined with daily life. The figure's vibrant robes and ornate dress reflect the rich cultural heritage of China. With eyes turned away, he exudes a sense of reverence towards his divine masters. Every curve and contour is meticulously carved, bringing forth a human likeness that captivates our imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the Ming Dynasty's artistic prowess and its profound impact on shaping Chinese culture. This piece serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship prevalent during this period. Preserved through time, this ivory masterpiece now finds itself captured within a photograph by CM Dixon - an image that allows us to appreciate its beauty even more intimately. It stands as a symbol not only of China's religious traditions but also as a reminder that art has the power to transcend centuries and connect us with ancient civilizations.
