Statue of Bodhisattva in the Northern Song Dynasty
This painted stone statue of Bodhisattva during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577) is one of the important collections of the Asian Art Department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Metropolitan Museum of Art) in New York, USA. This statue is famous for its style of "showing bones and clearing images", which perfectly combines the influence of the "Central Plains" of Buddhist art in the Northern Qi Dynasty and the "Matura style of the Gupta Dynasty in India". The Bodhisattva is "upright", with its feet slightly separated, its center of gravity falling on its right foot, its left foot naturally extending forward, and its body slightly lateral, forming a dynamic balance.
Northern Song Ru kiln celadon lotus style warm bowl
The lotus shaped warm bowl from the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty was used to produce porcelain. The original vessel should be paired with a holding pot and was commonly used for warming wine during the late Tang and Song dynasties. Currently housed in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Ru kiln was once used in the palace, but due to the method of covering and firing, the mouth had defects. Therefore, there was a move to "order Ruzhou to burn celadon in the palace". The selection of Ru kiln and the use of fully glazed support should be one of the reasons.
