Product description
Impressive Antique Chinese Sculpture "Magu" with Refined Silver Inlay (43 cm) Add a centerpiece to your collection with this monumental, hand-carved sculpture of the immortal goddess Magu. With an impressive height of 43 cm and a weight of 2 kg, this object has an enormous presence, perfect for a prominent place in your interior or display case. Exceptional Craftsmanship: Silver in Hardwood What truly distinguishes this sculpture is the extremely detailed silver wire inlay (Shippo technique). The flowing cloud patterns and details in the robes are hand-inlaid into precious, heavy hardwood. This level of craftsmanship was, in the 19th century, reserved only for wealthier collectors and the elite. Symbolism of Luck and Longevity In Chinese culture, this sculpture carries a powerful message: Magu: The immortal goddess of youth and health. The Deer: Symbolizes prosperity, high income, and a successful career. Bamboo: Represents resilience, durability, and an unyielding character.

Guaranteed Authenticity: This object is part of our forensic archive.
