"Flower Silk Inlaid" Gold Zun, a Qing Dynasty Imperial Gold Ware

Collection Description: Flower Silk Inlay - Born over 3000 years ago in the Spring and Autumn, Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was popular in the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, bringing this ancient craftsmanship that has been passed down for thousands of years to its peak! Flower silk inlay is a royal skill, which is the top of the "Eight Wonders of Yanjing"! It is a clever combination of gold wire and inlay techniques, using very expensive gold as the raw material. The gold is drawn into silk and woven into various patterns, and then beaten into vessels with gold foil. After carving the patterns, gemstones are used to embellish them. The labor cost is huge, and the production cycle is long. It is a high-end luxury exclusive to the royal family! This pair of golden statues has a unique shape, complex craftsmanship, and is adorned with majestic double dragons. They are adorned with exquisite flowers woven with golden threads and inlaid with tourmalines and gemstones. They are truly lifelike, exquisite, unique, precious, and showcase the noble and elegant temperament of the royal family!
 

Copper gilded Shakyamuni Buddha

Collection Description: The founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni (Buddha), was a member of the Shakyamuni people of the ancient Indian state of Kapilawa. He existed in the middle of the first millennium BC. At this time, the prosperity of commodity trade promoted the rise of the Chadian class, weakened the authority of traditional Brahmanism, which posed obstacles, and the ideological community was active in the Shaman movement, including Buddhism. The life of Shakyamuni did not attract the attention of early Tripitaka editors, who only tried to record the words of their mentors in detail; More detailed narratives and more legendary stories were carefully fabricated later on.
