Treasure Trove

Material: Gilded Copper

Dimensions: Approximately 40cm tall

This Amitābha Buddha statue is meticulously hand-cast in red copper with selective gilding, crafted by Nepali artisans following Tibetan Buddhist traditions. It dates from approximately 200 to 350 years ago. The Buddha’s serene and compassionate expression, harmoniously proportioned features, and dignified iconography reflect exceptional artistry and profound religious devotion.

The figure is draped in a flowing monastic robe, with finely detailed straps and naturalistic folds that convey a strong sense of three-dimensionality and movement. The warm, delicate texture of the red copper, along with areas of gilding worn by time and characteristic verdigris, highlights the statue’s age and adds a quietly majestic charm.

The base is reinforced with a metal plate, hammered and riveted—a precise modification made by a later foreign collector. Originally, the statue would have formed part of a complete ensemble, including a lotus pedestal, stūpa-shaped base, halo, and ceremonial umbrella atop the head, symbolizing Amitābha Buddha’s boundless light and compassionate guidance toward the Western Pure Land.

Nepali red-copper Buddha statues have long been treasured in Tibetan Buddhism for their solid, warm-toned material and exquisite craftsmanship. This finely made Amitābha Buddha is a rare and enduring devotional figure of significant artistic and spiritual value.

This is a Zhuni clay cup that has been treasured by Grandmaster JinBodhi for many years. Exquisitely crafted, it bears the base mark "Made by Tie Hua Xuan", and was carved by the owner of Tie Hua Xuan over a century ago.

Tie Hua Xuan was a company established in Shanghai in the second year of the Republic of China (1913), specializing in Yixing pottery. Its founder, Dai Guobao, was a renowned porcelain artisan. He used iron pens with embedded diamond tips to engrave landscapes, flowers, the Three Stars (Fu, Lu, Shou), and elegant ladies onto porcelain. His works are vivid and lifelike, blending ancient simplicity with refined elegance—bold like iron strokes, yet graceful like silver hooks. As his business flourished, he made porcelain carving his lifelong profession, and the name "Tie Hua Xuan" was born.

With the compassionate blessing of Grandmaster JinBodhi, this cup has become a rare and powerful feng shui treasure. Those with the karmic affinity to receive it will enjoy great wealth and auspiciousness.

火龍、擋煞避邪

麒麟，自古尊為「龍之長子」，象徵祥瑞與榮貴。在古籍《麒麟圖書》中記載，麒麟具備「奔走、飛翔、吐火、控水、智慧」五大神能，為上天入地皆可行之五項全能神獸，為百獸之尊。

在帝制時代，唯皇太子方可被稱為「麟兒」，麒麟因此也成為皇權血脈的象徵。僅皇室、極高階大廟才得以使用麒麟形象，一般百姓及低階官員，無權擁有。

民間更傳信仰：「家中供奉麒麟，必能生貴子、興家運。」意指後代能有大作為，出人頭地、飛黃騰達，成為「一人之下，萬人之上」之人物。

本件麒麟陶瓷擺件出自明代，氣韻莊嚴、製作精巧，工藝罕見。

寓意鎮宅納福、添貴增祥、富貴延綿，尤適合用作傳家重器、穩固基業、庇蔭後嗣之寶。

此件清代青花瓷罐，器形飽滿厚重，通體繪飾兩條五爪蟠龍，昂首躍動於祥雲之間，氣勢磅礴、威儀非凡。五爪龍自明太祖朱元璋起即明令為皇家專用紋飾，象徵帝王至高無上的權威。元明以降，器物上龍紋的數量亦有所規定，每器不逾兩龍，此罐正符其制，體現皇家制度下藝術與權力的完美結合。

罐身下方繪有如意祥雲與「海水江崖」紋飾，波濤洶湧之間夾雜如游魚、奔馬之形，象徵祥瑞萬千，寓意「上天入地、無所不能」，為集納吉祥、祈福納財之意的「聚寶」之器。

青花發色清潤穩定，釉面光澤柔和，構圖動靜相宜，筆法遒勁細膩，展現出明代官窯高超的繪瓷工藝，極具藝術與收藏價值。

罐口覆以一枚錫製蓋口，與器身嚴絲合縫。依據金屬包邊的製作工藝與氧化痕跡判斷，應為清代後期加裝，或因口沿輕微磕損，或為延長實用年限所設，推測其使用歷史已逾130年。此一後期修補不僅體現古人惜器之情，也為此罐增添一層深厚的歷史印記。

Material: Gilt-Bronze
Dimensions: H9.5 Seal 7x7 cm (±3%)

This finely cast gilt-bronze seal is of substantial weight and lustrous patina, exuding an air of solidity and refinement. The form is square and well-proportioned, surmounted by a mythical beast finial modeled in the traditional auspicious and protective style.

The double-headed beast is shown recumbent, with bulging eyes, rounded snout, and open jaws revealing sharp teeth, conveying strength and vigilance. Its musculature is full and powerful, the posture commanding and dignified. Flowing manes fall neatly along the nape, while the sides of the spine are adorned with delicately rendered spiral curls—details that bring the creature vividly to life. The overall modeling captures a harmonious balance between motion and stillness.

The seal face is incised in zhuanshu (seal script) Tibetan characters. Based on its form and stylistic features, the piece may be identified as a Tibetan Buddhist–style seal. At the center of the seal face, the Tibetan inscription reads “The Great Precious Dharma King.” The dotted border and wave pattern are characteristic of Qing-period Tibetan gold seals, symbolizing radiating divine power and sacred protection. The triple-bead motif at the top and lotus-petal decoration at the base are common sacred symbols in Tibetan Buddhist art, representing the lotus throne and the wisdom of emptiness.

Thoughtfully conceived and exquisitely executed, this seal exemplifies both spiritual symbolism and artistic craftsmanship. The mythical beast is rendered with vitality and presence, embodying majesty and auspicious power. Serving not only as an official seal but also as a refined scholar’s object, it stands as a rare and distinguished example of Qing-dynasty metalwork—an elegant union of gravitas, vitality, and imperial grace.

Carved from fine celadon jade, this staff head has a smooth, lustrous texture and a soft gray-green tone, with areas of natural brown patina that lend it an antique charm. The finial is sculpted in the round as a Jiu Bird, a creature revered in ancient China for its gentle nature and auspicious symbolism. The bird features a slightly hooked beak, round eyes, and a long crest flowing backward from the crown. Its wings lie close to the plump body, and both the feathers and tail are finely incised with delicate lines. The tail curls slightly upward, creating a sense of vitality and grace. A round mortise opening beneath allows it to fit onto the shaft of a staff. Compact and refined, the piece radiates warmth and quiet elegance.

The tradition of the Jiu Bird-topped staff (jiu zhang) originated from the “tooth-staff” (chizhang) system of the Zhou dynasty. The bird-form ornament likely evolved from ancient bird-totem worship. Since the pre-Qin era, such staffs symbolized respect, longevity, and virtuous seniority. By the Han dynasty, they had become marks of imperial favor for elders. The Book of the Later Han – Treatise on Rituals records:

In this context, the Jiu Bird embodies longevity, serenity, and auspicious well-being.

This jade staff head exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of Qing-dynasty jade carving and conveys the traditional Chinese reverence for age and virtue. It stands as an artwork of both artistic refinement and profound cultural significance.
