A LONGYAN WOOD CARVING OF A SEATED
LUOHAN
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The emaciated Luohan is shown seated with his right elbow
resting on his bent right knee and holding prayer beads. He wears
loose robes draped over either side of the bony chest, revealing his
spine on the back, and a dhoti tied at the waist. His face is crisply
carved with prominent cheekbones, protruding forehead, and
short eyebrows, all set in a contemplative expression.
