A RARE CHINESE WHITISH JADE CONCH SHELL BRUSH WASHER, the front spiral part of the shell with incised details, leading to the central cavity terminating in a swept end, sitting on waves, the back with some subtle russet markings, Qing, probably Qianlong, 3.25"" long. Provenance: The Collection of the late John Walden (1925-2013). The conch shell is a rare but highly significant subject to find in jade. It symbolises the pure and true teachings of the Buddha and is also a symbol of the Buddha`s voice, used to call worshipers together. Actual white conch shells are commonly used ritual implements in Tibetan Buddhism, to which the Qianlong Emperor adhered. This religious devotion was also a key political symbol of the Qing Emperor`s rule. It is significant that amongst the most precious objects placed in front of the Emperor a white conch shell took central place. Very few examples in jade have appeared on the market. Christie`s Hong Kong sold an exceptional white jade conch shell as Lot 2960 on 1st December 2010. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO INTERNET BIDDING PERMITTED ON THIS LOT
