China. Deeply carved depicting a luohan seated in a grotto, his face with a gentle smile and downcast eyes below bushy eyebrows, holding a sutra in both hands, his shoes in front of him and a small censer beside him on an outcrop, surrounded by the cave walls towering in neatly carved bulbous sections with subtly detailed crags.The reverse intricately detailed with a finely incised stream passing through the rockwork past gnarled pine branches and hidden recesses and terminating in undulating waves.The stone of a light beige color mottled with dark gray specks, with russet areas, and a bluish-gray tone at the base.Provenance: The Rea and Drucilla Ashley Collection (label to back), San Francisco, thence by descent. A private collection in the United States, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. The back also with an old inscribed label. Rea Ernest (1890-1961) and Drucilla Clay Ashley (1892-1974) were collectors of Chinese jades, bronzes, and porcelain. After the couple married in New York, they lived together in San Francisco, were Drucilla ran a shop named D. C. Ashley Antiques.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear.

The stand dates from the Qing dynasty and has a fine scent, typical of agarwood. The box dates from the early 20th century. (3)Jade's resistance to fire can be especially appreciated in the present boulder. The 'chicken bone' coloration may have been produced by deliberately heating the nephrite to create the opaque cream and brown tones. These effects could also have come about by accidental exposure to fire. The collection of the Palace Museum, for instance, contains numerous jades that were burnt in fires that erupted at the palace over the years. This type of jade was particularly valued between the later Ming and early Qing dynasties.
