Materials: Vietnam Nha Trang White Kynam, Sinking Grade
Intricately sculpted Avalokiteśvara / Ru Yi Guan Yin /on a 100% Sinking Museum Grade White Kynam.
As Kynam is greasy, soft and waxy, sculpting it is an extremely arduous task. Every incision results in oil and bits sticking to the blade. At extremely high magnification, it can be observed this piece is seeping out plenty of red oil. Red oil formation only comes from black oil, and this process requires high hundreds to thousands of years. A tell tale sign of its old age.
The rarest form of White Kynam. Sculpted into Avalokiteśvara. Both as a respect and appreciation for such an extraordinary scarce Kynam. A rarest grade of White Kynam I can confidently say only a handful of people possess.
Price @ $8,800 SGD ($6,490 USD) per gram.
