民國 青金石雕二仙立像擺件連木座

拍品描述

英文品名：A REPUBLICAN-PERIOD LAPIS LAZULI CARVING OF TWO IMMORTALS, ON A WOOD STAND 尺寸：W:11cm;H:14cm 青金石雕。二仙立像，一高一幼，長衫曳地，一持法器，一持圓扇，身姿相依，衣帶飄舉。石色濃藍，局部含白斑與金鐵礦點。下配木座。為民國時期人物題材擺件。青金石以濃藍為貴，上品色如天青，金鐵礦星點綴其間，白方解俗稱灑金、白線。開料時須避開石層間的白筋，否則雕至細處易崩。因石質色塊不均，玉人多依色分面：深藍處為衣，白筋巧作雲、石。清代宮中青金石多來自阿富汗巴達赫尚，經新疆卡爾井道輸入，價比黃金。雕仙像須先出粗坯，再以勾砣細開眉目，最後牛皮拋光，色方沉艷。 A lapis lazuli carving of two immortals, one taller and one youthful, both in long robes. One holds a ritual object and the other a round fan; the figures stand close together with ribbons flying. The stone is of a deep blue, with white calcite and pyrite inclusions. It is fitted with a wood stand. Lapis lazuli is valued for a deep, pure blue, with pyrite flecks and white calcite veins. Cutters must work around the white calcite seams, as these split at fine details. Because colour is uneven, carvers plan the surface: deep blue becomes robes, white veins are turned into cloud or rock. Qing court lapis came largely from Badakhshan in Afghanistan, reaching China via the Karakoram routes and rivalling gold in value. Immortal figures are rough-shaped first, features defined with small grinding wheels, then polished on leather to bring up the deep colour.
