7) Gilt bronze seated 'Water-Moon' Guanyin, Yuan-Ming

Lot 7: http://en.51bidlive.com/Item/536984

迷幻 镜 花水月，慈美的除 难观 音

水月 观 音 为 三十三 观 音的化身之一，早期只能在敦煌壁画中找到。 传说 在古姑 苏 （今 苏 州）因 战 火，数十万百姓被 杀变 成冤魂， 观 音心生慈悲化作美 丽妇 人下凡作善四十九天。后来众人悟到 妇 人就是 观 音菩 萨 的化身，上前拜道之 际 却已消失在月亮的水中月影。
明朝以前， 观 音的化身都描 绘为 男性，而此作品正是制于当代，正是 观 音 还 是男性的 时 代。

此作品以青 铜 製作，鑑 赏 价 值 甚高，其 纹饰 工 艺 更反映代年的 时 代 兴 衰。但 这艺术 品最着眼的部份莫 过 于 观 音脚下的麒麟，寓意吉祥和慈 爱 。

白玉和合二圣，破不灭的友情

和合二仙，亦称和合二圣，为掌管和平与喜乐的神仙，为拾得与寒山两位名僧之合称。相传两位高僧因为情感融洽，故能保佑世间朋友友谊长存，情侣情意绵长。此白玉二圣被雕制於明朝期间（ 14-15 世纪），当时的白玉工艺未尝成熟，但造功却如此精巧细致。相信只有当是明朝帝国专属的珠宾工房裹资深的专家学所制作

A rare mutton fat white jade group, Ming Dynasty (circa 14-15th Century), worked with two boys side by side, one standing and holding a lotus branch stretched and arched over his shoulder (Shide), the other nestled against his friend from a sitting pose and holding a box (Hanshan), the two known as the HeHe twins or HeHe Erxian.

The standing Shide with head turned and with a sweet expression as he glances over towards his friend and Hanshan replies the affectionate greeting with his head angled up and a glowing smile on his face, the wonderful stone is considered to be a quartered mutton fat white jade pebble and is of fine even white tone with little to no inclusions visible. Details are finely rendered using carving on different planes and the whole elegantly polished throughout. 2 1/2" L., 6.3 cm.

Lot notes: Carvings from the Ming dynasty in white jade are rare. The purity of the subject and the high quality of the stone suggests this was likely produced in the Imperial Jade Workshops of the first half of the Ming. This is an early and fine example of the HeHe Erxian boys.
