From our recent Japanese acquisitions, a rare find, stem #3
Antique Original Japanese temple “blossoming lotus” flower bud stem. This finely hand carved wood and lacquered gold flower stem was made for a Buddhist 19th century temple altar. Its flower blossoms and leaves symbolize the stages of the path toward enlightenment. The individual parts of each lotus is carved separately then joined in an arrangement and inserted in altar vessels.
This lovely Japanese antique gilt Lotus flower is an early survivor, circa 1840, and a hard to find treasure that was originally placed on or around a temple altar.
This stem consists of six (6) inidividually carved petals and one center “bud” all finely crafted, detailed, and gold lacquered. The bronze vase is contemporary.
Its attractive original old patina coupled with much of the original gilding remaining present is just the way we like to find them.
Dimensions: Height 18 inches height and 8 inches in width. The single lotus flower cluster measures 16 inches in height.
Provenance: acquired from a Kyoto Japanse monk and collector
Lifetime authenticity guarantee.
