A RARE AND LARGE CHINESE SPINACH-GREEN JADE FIGURE OF A LUOHAN 18TH CENTURY Carved seated in dhyanasana wearing a shawl and long robes, his garments held by a clasp at his left shoulder, he holds a stupa in his left hand whilst raising his right hand behind the precious object in a variation of abhaya mudra, his serene face detailed with a small finely incised moustache and beard, the green stone with brown flecks and inclusions, 23.5cm. Provenance: the Lawrence Collection of jades and hardstone carvings, purchased from Spink & Son prior to 1959. In prehistoric times, jade was carved into human form. Such pieces are usually identified as religious worshippers and priests, sometimes as Immortals. The mysterious quality of the jade itself lent a special meaning to the figure it represented. This particular figure is carved from a large boulder of spinach-green nephrite. He has been conventionally identified as a Chinese sage, but his long, flowing robe is closer to the attire of Buddhist monks. The name Luohan comes from the Sanskrit arhan or arhat, referring to the Buddhist ascetics. They are disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha, who have passed the eight-fold path (right belief, resolve, speech, work, livelihood, training, mindfulness, abstract, meditation), and reached Nirvana or Enlightenment. They are essentially associated with the Hinayana School of Buddhism, and each has the title Samantha prabhasa or general wisdom; they can teach or train others to attain perfection. Luohans are very popular in China, as it is believed they can protect patrons and believers by expelling ignorance and defeating robbers. In the Buddhist legend, there are normally 500 Luohans, but the most famous ones usually appear together in groups of 16 or 18. Luohans are represented in painted portraits as well as in sculpture. All have distinctive attributes: for instance, Pindola the Bharadvaja has elongated eyebrows, Vajraputra is lean, ribbed and hairy; Nakula is always shown with a mongoose. However, it is quite difficult to identify the present figure with a particular Luohan. Many Luohans have a book or staff in their hands, but in this case the figure holds a stupa, perhaps suggesting that he has entered Nirvana. Cf. Catalogue of the International Exhibition of Chinese Art, 1935-6, no.2860 for a similar figure lent to the exhibition by Mr and Mrs Edward Sonnenschein; see also G Wills, Jade of the East, p.104, nos.63-64 and N Zhou, Ancient Jades in Man, Immortal and Buddha, p.309, nos.360-361 for further related examples; see also Asian Art I, 17th November 2010, lot 337 for a comparable spinach-green jade figure of Buddha of the same size previously sold in these rooms. 十八世紀碧玉雕托塔羅漢來源：勞倫斯珍藏玉石，1959年前購於Spink & Son。

A FINE AND RARE SMALL CHINESE CELADON JADE BOULDER 17TH/18TH CENTURY Depicting a lone scholar gazing up towards a steep cliff face, the elderly gentleman contentedly enjoying the scenery, with pine trees and smaller shrubs growing in the rocky landscape, the reverse carved with a waterfall crashing down the cliff, the russet markings in the greenish stone cleverly used within the design, 12.7cm. Provenance: formerly a western private collection; and then the Lawrence Collection of jades and hardstone carvings, purchased from Roger Keverne Limited on 18th December 2008. A copy of the invoice is available. Published: R Keverne, Winter Exhibition 2008, pp.96-97, no.76. The subject on this carving is inspired by traditional Chinese landscape painting. The Chinese word for 'landscape painting' is shanshui, literally translating as 'mountains and water'. Landscape painting has long held an important position in Chinese art, but its principles were not applied to three-dimensional jade carvings until the early Qing dynasty. Landscape painting was not only valued as a means of expressing an admiration of nature, but also as a way of representing the philosophical relationship between man and the natural world. As is typical in landscape painting, the figure on this jade boulder is presented as a passive spectator within the free and undomesticated vastness of the natural setting. Cf.

THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1973) - Ray Harryhausen Hand-drawn Concept Drawing of the Neanderthal Man and the Cyclopean CentaurA framed Ray Harryhausen hand-drawn concept drawing of the Neanderthal Man fighting the Cyclopean Centaur from the production of Gordon Hessler's fantasy film The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.This artwork is rendered in pencil on white drawing paper. It depicts a prehistoric man, club raised, with his other hand around the throat of the boulder-wielding mythical beast, with Sinbad (John Phillip Law) and Margiana (Caroline Munro) looking on. A standard Cyclops was initially envisioned but looked too much like "a man in a suit." This prompted the development of a more creative Cyclopean Centaur. The final key art version of this image featured on page 178 of The Art of Ray Harryhausen by Ray Harryhausen and Tony Dalton. The artwork comes presented in a card mount and a black wooden frame. Dimensions: (framed) 48.5 cm x 64.5 cm x 1.5 cm (19" x 25 1/2" x 3/4")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.Estimate: £5,000 - 10,000 M ARR View all lots from GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD, THE (1973)Bidding for this lot will end on Thursday, November 9th.

A DEEPLY-PIERCED AND HOLLOWED SCHOLAR'S ROCKProbably Qing DynastyAttractively and dramatically created to simulate a natural Lake Tai boulder as a stimulus to scholarly activity, the well-patinated surface with a multitude of pierced apertures, wood stand. Overall 26.5cm (10 1/2in) high. (2).Footnotes:或清 英石賞石Provenance: Ralph M. Chait Galleries, New York, 9 May 2003A European private collection來源：Ralph M. Chait Galleries，紐約，2003年5月9日歐洲私人收藏Hollowed and pierced rocks were highly regarded by the scholarly-elite in China because they recalled high mountains. The high peaks and ability to produce water, the life giving element, from the clouds swirling around them, were seen as providing the closest connection with heaven. Images of hermits within mountains appear to have emerged in early China in connection with times of political turmoil, such as the Six Dynasties (AD 420-589). At later times, however, these images became increasingly associated with the scholarly elites and their growing interest of disconnecting from the world of contemporary affairs to find solace in nature, where they could forge their identity as poets, painters and calligraphers.

A RARE SPINACH-GREEN JADE FIGURE OF A TIGER, SECOND HALF OF THE QIANLONG PERIODChina, c. 1760-1795. Carved from a large boulder, the tiger rests in a recumbent pose with its legs tucked beneath its body and its tail curling to the side. The body is neatly incised with thin stripes, and its face is well detailed with large round eyes, thick arched brows, and thin whiskers. The tiger bares its sharp teeth in a fierce snarl, wrinkling its face, and laying its ears back. The prominent, menacing claws are another distinct feature, clearly identifying the animal as the biggest and most dangerous of all felines, also known as 'Man Eater' in some cultures.The superbly polished stone of an even and remarkably pure deep spinach-green tone with few minute dark flecks and icy veins. Possibly Khotan jade.Provenance: French trade. Condition: Superb condition with minimal wear. The stone with few natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks.Weight: 1,488.3 g Dimensions: Length 15.3 cm Prior to the Qianlong period, jade carvings in China were largely confined to small-sized items such as scholar's objects, pendants, plaques, and palm-sized vessels, due to the rarity of quality jade. Most jade quarries were a great distance from the capital and were outside the jurisdiction of the early Qing empire until the 1750s. In the middle of Qianlong's reign in 1759, the emperor expanded his rule into the Xinjiang territory while quelling the Dzungar Khanate and the Altishahr Khojas rebellions, making a large supply of jade material from the region available to the empire.After 1760, when the Kingdom of Yutian (modern-day Xinjiang province) was brought under Chinese influence, the fine raw jade boulders from that area were readily available to Chinese carvers. The region known as Khotan, now in Xinjiang province, is particularly famous for its fine nephrite jade. With these materials, and the encouragement of the emperor, the jade lapidaries of the second half Qianlong period were able to produce remarkable feats of carving. Large jade animal carvings represent some of the finest jade products of the early Qing dynasty, leading to the heights of achievement associated with the reign of the Qianlong emperor. Animals including tigers, horses, and elephants were popular, as were mythical beasts such as the qilin or the Buddhist lion.Tigers have been of great importance in Chinese culture since the earliest surviving records of Chinese history, with the character 虎 appearing on Shang-era oracle bones. In ancient China, the Siberian and Bengal tigers were common in the northeast and southwest respectively, and tigers figure prominently in Chinese myth, astrology, poetry, painting, and other fields. Most prominently, the tiger has long been regarded as a major symbol of masculine yang energy and the king of the animals.Literature comparison:Compare a related large spinach-green jade Buddhistic lion, 19.8 cm wide, date to the Qianlong period, formerly in the collections of R.C.

A SPINACH-GREEN JADE 'SEVEN SAGES OF THE BAMBOO GROVE' (ZHULIN QIXIAN) BRUSHPOT, BITONG, QIANLONG PERIODExpert's note: The present brushpot is extraordinary in how the master carver transformed the vessel into a three-dimensional multi-layered canvas, with the image continuing and revealing itself through the physical turning of the vessel by the beholder. It is also noteworthy that to produce such a magnificent vessel, a very large jade boulder of remarkable quality would have been used, with the carving process and hollowing of the brushpot creating significant wastage of material, underscoring the lavish expenditure in the process of making this exceptional scholarly vessel.China, 1736-1795. Of cylindrical form, raised on three short ogee-bracket feet. Deftly carved in deep relief with a continuous scene of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove engaged in various pursuits and accompanied by their boy attendants in the eponymous bamboo grove amid craggy rockwork, towering pines, and swirling clouds. The partially translucent stone is of a dark spinach-green hue with expected icy inclusions and dark spots.Provenance: Collection of Roger Meffreys, and thence by descent in the same family. A private collection in France, acquired from the above. Roger Meffreys (1899-1976) was a French diplomat who served in China between 1936 and 1946. His first position in Shanghai was General Consul, later being assigned the position of Ambassador for France in Beijing until 1946. Meffreys became enamored with Chinese culture and works of art, frequently visiting Beijing's antique shops and meeting famous artists including Xu Beihong. He built an exceptional collection, which he then took with him after his appointment as Ambassador ended. Meffreys continued in various diplomatic positions in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand, before retiring in his hometown of Grenoble.Condition: Very good condition with natural wear, traces of use, two small chips around one foot, possibly with an associated minuscule repair. The stone with natural inclusions and fissures, some of which have developed into small hairline cracks.Weight: 1,897.7 g Dimensions: Height 16.1 cm, Diameter 13.4 cm Two of the sages are playing a game of weiqi (go), with one of them reaching into the container (weiqizhe) by his side for a counter, as a third looks on, while the four other sages are gathered around a table as one of them writes a poem on a scroll. One of the attendants is climbing a bamboo stalk, while another is fanning a kettle, preparing tea for the group.The 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove' were mid-3rd century literati who had renounced their official status and careers, retreating to the countryside in protest against the corrupt politics of the Wei dynasty rulers. They advocated freedom of individual beliefs which were inspired by Daoist philosophy. The design of the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove' (zhulin qixian) especially appealed to the Qianlong Emperor's wish to depict himself as an upright ruler and his desire to be seen as a man of letters. The seven sages, depicted gathered under a bamboo grove drinking, composing poetry, and enjoying each other's company, came to represent scholars disenchanted with official policies and are symbols of an incorruptible personality. They reflect the virtues of art and intellectual pursuits.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related spinach-green jade brushpot, 14 cm high, also dated to the Qianlong period, exhibited by the Oriental Ceramic Society at Bonhams London, Reginald and Lena Palmer, their Collection, and the Oriental Ceramic Society, 1921-1970, 27 October 2021.
