拍品专文

Many Longquan celadon figures are of Buddhist subjects with unglazed areas depicting the face and bare skin which is a characteristic of the Yuan period. See examples illustrated in Yuan dai ciqi, Beijing, 1998, p. 265, pls. 471-473. Compare also with a seated figure of Daoist Zhenwu from the Edward T. Chow Collection sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 16 December 1980, lot 326; and another sold at Sotheby's London, 7 June 1994, lot 314.
