A LARGE HARDWOOD FIGURE OF DAMO (BODHIDHARMA), LATE MING TO EARLY QING DYNASTYChina, 17th - 18th century. Finely carved standing atop a globular base in the form of wavy water with a single reed, his arms shrouded in his loose-fitting monastic robe, the serene face with piercing eyes, curled brows and neatly groomed beard. The wood with a subdued polish, a distinct dark-brown hue and a faint reddish luster.Provenance: From an old French private estate. A noted Austrian Netsuke collector, acquired from the above via the Paris auction market.Condition: Good condition with old wear, several natural age cracks, few minuscule nicks. Fine, naturally grown patina with an unctuous feel overall, the obvious result from centuries of handling and caressing.Weight: 2,997 g Dimensions: Height 44.5 cmBodhidharma is regarded as the first Chinese patriarch of Chan Buddhism who lived during the fifth/sixth century. Despite the lack of robust biographical information, early Chinese texts such as the Luoyang Qielan Ji, 'Record of the Buddhist Temples of Luoyang', written around 547 by Yang Xuanzhi, recorded Bodhidharma as a monk who traveled from Central Asia to China. Daoxuan described Bodhidharma in Xu Gaoseng Zhuan, the 'Continuation of The Biographies of Eminent Monks', in the mid-seventh century, as a monk from southern India who arrived at the Kingdom of Nanyue during the Song period and then turned north to the Kingdom of Wei. Legend also tells that the sage once crossed over the Yangtze River by riding a branch of reed, as implied by the present carving, in order to transmit the Mahayana teachings to the north.The present lot belongs to an ascetic group of late Ming to early Qing figures which exhibit strong fluid lines and freedom of pose, worked in a variety of materials including wood, bronze, ivory, and rhinoceros horn.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related boxwood figure of Bodhidharma dated late Ming dynasty in the Palace Museum collection, Beijing, illustrated in Bamboo, Wood, Ivory and Rhinoceros Horn Carvings - The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2002, page 15, pl. 14.
