Teng Biao Amber Natural Beeswax Large Block Puxian Bodhisattva Ornament Carved by Master Liu Boqing with Ebony Base

This piece is an ornament of Puxian Bodhisattva, meticulously carved from a large, natural beeswax block. The raw material is ample and intact, with a rich, deep color that is neither ostentatious nor dull, retaining the soft, lustrous sheen that beeswax develops over time. Working with large blocks presents significant challenges in material selection and composition, requiring a balance between preserving the integrity of the material and effectively conveying the subject. To maintain such proportions and stability is truly remarkable. The piece was personally carved by Master Liu Boqing. The Puxian Bodhisattva emanates a serene and composed presence, with elegantly rendered drapery that flows with graceful moderation. The lines are fluid and natural, suggesting movement within stillness and embodying both form and spirit. The overall carving style eschews ostentation, focusing instead on a subtle and interconnected flow of energy, demonstrating a mature and restrained approach to Buddhist sculpture. This ornament is suited for long-term display and mindful contemplation. It comes with a custom base that fully preserves the original proportions and visual focus of the artwork. Whether placed in a private study, a collection space, or simply as a decorative piece, it offers a tranquil beauty derived from its material and craftsmanship. Amber, formed tens of millions of years ago, is fossilized pine resin transformed under immense geological pressure and heat. Originating from regions like the Baltic Sea and the Dominican Republic, amber has played a significant role in European royal culture since the Middle Ages. Revered alongside gold and silver, it was known as the "Northern Gold" and was a favored adornment of the aristocracy. In the East, amber, also called "light bead" or "beast soul," boasts a long historical heritage. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that amber can "calm the five internal organs, stabilize the soul, dissolve blood stasis, treat insect toxins, break hardened masses, stop bleeding, promote tissue regeneration, and aid in pregnancy." Beyond its historical medicinal uses, modern research suggests that succinic acid and micro-particles within amber offer positive benefits for the human body, helping to alleviate skin stress and slow the aging process, echoing ancient texts like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which states: "It contains abundant *yù pèi*, and wearing it prevents lingering illnesses." In the West, amber is believed to possess magical properties that bring luck and happiness, earning it the name "Sun Stone." Amber is considered a living entity, embodying the essence of all things. Touching it can bring peace of mind, making it a treasure for cultivating inner depth.
