No.1 Agarwood Reed Crossing Decoration
Auction Session: September 30, 2023 Singapore Auction - Miscellaneous Session
Collection specification: 80x25x118cm WT: 6750g
Starting price: SGD 3680000
Transaction price: SGD 4200000 (equivalent to RMB 22.65 million)
Collection Description: This work is made of Indonesian red soil and sunken water fragrant materials. It takes inspiration from the classic poem "Crossing the River with a Reed" by the founder of Dharma, and the carving method is as precious as gold. Local carving techniques are used to depict the face of the founder of Dharma, while the rest retains the natural shape of the raw materials and is accompanied by a precious Hainan yellow pear base. I saw Grandmaster Bodhisattva stepping on the reeds, scattering waves like a solitary boat or sailing in the wind, floating across the Yangtze River. The demeanor of a generation of Zen masters was vividly displayed before my eyes.

Collection Description: Kalimantan agarwood is a relatively strong type of agarwood, with scarce resources and high prices. Its strong and layered aroma changes greatly, making it the one with the greatest changes in aroma among agarwood. First of all, it is sweet with the sweetness of Huian. This sweet aroma will come to your nose, making you feel a shock when you smell it. Secondly, it is the unique and deep aroma of Indonesian agarwood, with a more pronounced earthy aroma and a slight hint of earthy spiciness. The aftertaste is strong and long-lasting, with a strong vanilla aroma that is very long-lasting. Kalimantan is a model of top-quality fragrance.
