拍品描述

英文品名：A ZITAN RUYI SCEPTRE SET WITH JADEITE, THE REVERSE INSCRIBED WITH GUOTAI MIN'AN AND AN IMPERIAL POEM, BEARING A SANXITANG HALL SEAL, QING DYNASTY 尺寸：L:51cm 此如意以紫檀為柄，通體淺浮雕卷草紋，首尾及柄中各鑲翡翠飾牌一組：首作雲首形，鑲翠玉雕花片；中間及尾端鑲長方形翠玉牌，分別雕山水人物與花卉紋。背面中央開光陽刻「國泰民安」四字，其上下陰刻御製詩「迎鑾黎庶聚猶多，雨裏那曾笠與蓑；愛敬真如子於父，可無惠保計如何」，詩末鈐璽印三方：葫蘆形「三希堂」印、方形「萬幾餘暇」印、另一方長方九疊篆璽印。翠色鮮陽，木質沉穩，為清代如意之製。如意之制，源於爪杖（搔背之具），後漸成清談、講經時握持之物，至明清而為宮廷及士大夫間陳設、賞賜之器。其名「如意」，音取「如人意」；其首作雲頭或芝頭形，取「靈芝延年」之意。元旦、萬壽、大婚之典，王公大臣輒以如意進獻，以頌「如意吉祥」。清代如意多以紫檀、木骨鑲玉、翡翠、珊瑚，首尾中腹鑲牌，背面鐫御製詩，為宮中陳設常用。 This zitan ruyi sceptre is carved with scrolling vine patterns and mounted at the head, centre, and terminal with jadeite plaques carved with floral and landscape motifs. The reverse bears a central cartouche with the incised characters Guotai Min'an; above and below it are inscribed an imperial poem—'The assembled subjects who greet the imperial progress are still many; under the rain they once had no straw cloak or hat. Their love and reverence is truly as a child for a father; how could one omit care and protection?'—and three seals: a gourd-shaped Sanxitang seal, a square Wanji Yuxia seal, and a further long rectangular seal in nine-fold seal script. The jadeite displays a vivid green hue against the dark zitan. The ruyi sceptre evolved from a back-scratcher, then became a prop held in pure-talk and sutra lectures, and by the Ming-Qing a display and gift object at court. Its name means as you wish; its head in cloud or lingzhi form evokes the longevity fungus. On New Year, imperial birthdays and weddings, princes and ministers offered ruyi to wish all as you desire. Qing examples were usually of zitan or wood set with jade, jadeite or coral, plaques at head, centre and tail, with imperial poems incised on the reverse.
