White Hetian Jade Plaque: Shakyamuni Buddha, 20.5 g

No. This individual piece has already been collected and remains online as a reference. You can ask Yufu Jade to look for a similar material, form or carving subject; any new piece is documented and quoted separately.

Shakyamuni sits in meditation above a rounded lotus base on a rectangular panel. A plain halo encloses the head, while the open background keeps the folded hands and robe easy to read. The plant forms invite a close look at the meeting points between petals, leaves and the surrounding ground. Compare these small details with the larger outline to judge the balance of the design. Side lighting is useful for seeing depth without mistaking a cast shadow for a carved line.

The listed dimensions are 45 x 29 mm, approximately 1.77 x 1.14 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 20.5 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

Shakyamuni is the historical Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama. A seated figure with a halo and lotus pedestal is a traditional devotional representation rather than a portrait from life. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
