拍品描述

英文品名：A WHITE JADE STANDING FIGURE OF MAGU OFFERING PEACHES, QING DYNASTY 尺寸：H:20cm (without stand) 此像為和田白玉圓雕，仕女站立，高髻長裙，身披天衣，手持靈枝蟠桃，身旁鏤雕桃樹一株，枝頭結實繁盛。玉質溫潤瑩白，局部留黃褐色玉皮巧雕。下配紫檀木雕須彌座。為清代玉雕麻姑像。麻姑，傳說中仙女，為女壽星。相傳東漢應節（字仲應）見麻姑於東南宣城，是時三月十五日，麻姑手指其地曰「此復當為海」，後果然。故麻姑為長壽、滄桑之象。後世以「麻姑獻壽」「麻姑獻桃」為祝壽題材，多於女性長輩壽辰時陳設，與東方朔偷桃、壽星圖並列。 This white Hetian jade figure stands as a lady in high chignon and long skirt with celestial sash, holding a branch of peaches, beside an openwork peach tree laden with fruit. The jade is warm and lustrous white, russet skin cleverly retained. It stands on a carved zitan stand. It is a Qing jade Magu. Magu is a legendary female immortal, the goddess of longevity. Tradition has it that in the Eastern Han she appeared at Xuancheng and predicted the land would become sea; hence she symbolizes long life and the vicissitudes of time. Magu offering peaches became a birthday subject, especially for women, grouped with Dongfang Stealing a Peach and the God of Longevity.
