18/19th C. Highly valued Chinese ChenXiang fragrance wood, agarwood, carved into a wish-granting-wand, commonly called a ruyi scepter, of arched organic branching tree motif with a peach shaped head. The main decoration in open carving resembled wheat thistle and Buddha finger citron, and its foliate entwined the wand. Adorned with red tassels. Displayed upon a golden-yellow covered silk covered hard cushion stand. The ruyi, considered one of the Eight Treasures, was a scepter which represented power and authority. The ruyi was originally a short sword with a sword-guard used for self-defense or gesturing. There is some speculation that it may have evolved from a back scratcher. The head of the ruyi is similar to that of the LingZhi or "fungus of immortality" and the lotus. The name "ruyi" is usually translated as "as you wish" or "in accordance with your desires". The ruyi now symbolizes good wishes and prosperity. The ruyi may be seen on charms at Daoist Charms, Bagua Charms, Auspicious Inscriptions, and Pendant Charms.
Dimension: 16" L x 3-1/2"W (Stand): 16" L x 1-7/8" H LOT NOTES: : Aloes wood, also referred to ChenXiangMu or agarwood, diffuses a distinctive fragrance and hence it is highly treasured, especially in China, Japan, and Tibet. The wood is typically only found in small segments of usable material, which are traditionally pieced together to make small scholar's articles. Its aromatic qualities renders it valuable in the manufacture of incense.
