A Chinese Celadon Jade Inscribed “Luohan” Boulder, Qianlong, carved with Agaja in a grotto, seated cross-legged in loose flowing robes, his left hand holding a sutra and walking stick, the right counting prayer beads, flanked by the Imperial eulogy and seal marks 20cm high
With original receipt from Trollope & Sons (London) Ltd, West Halkin Street, London dated 25 November 1955 for £85, as well as a transcription of the eulogy
The inscription can be translated as “Wearing a hundred-patch robe and leaning on a proper bamboo staff, his Vedic ritual texts in a bookcase, he stares at his akshamalika straight across his chest. What he has remembered is not nothing, although there are no words for it.”
The iconography of this depiction of Agaja is derived from the portrait series of the sixteen Luohans painted in 891 by the Tang dynasty painter-poetmonk, Guanxiu for the Shengyinsi or ‘Temple of Sage Reason’; the temple was later destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion. In this series the artist depicted the enlightened disciples with grotesque bodies, hunched backs, bushy eyebrows, and pronounced foreheads, as they had allegedly appeared to him in a dream.
In 1757, the Qianlong Emperor visited the Shengyin Temple during his Southern inspection tour to study these images of the Luohan as an act of religious devotion. He recorded that, having seen the masterpieces, he was inspired to personally write a eulogy comprising two colophons for each painting. The Emperor believed the paintings to be the same set that had been recorded in the Xuanhe Huapu [The Xuande catalogue of paintings], the inventory of the Song dynasty emperor Huizong.
Subsequently, Qianlong commanded the palace painting master, Ding Guanpeng (act.1708-ca.1771) to copy the paintings and to include new inscriptions of the eulogies. Ding’s copies are now in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei and were widely copied in various media.
In 1764, the abbot at Shengyin Temple, Master Mingshui, instructed local stone engravers to copy Guanxiu’s paintings and the Emperor’s colophons and seals. The sixteen engraved stone panels were installed on the sixteen sides of the Miaoxiang Pagoda in Hangzhou. Almost immediately rubbings of the panels were being produced. Knowing the Emperor’s fondness for them, in 1778, the military governor of Shandong province, Guotai (d.ca.1782), presented the Qianlong Emperor with a magnificent zitan folding screen set with black lacquer panels inlaid with white jade in imitation of the rubbings.
A similar jade boulder, depicting the second Luohan, Kanakavasta, was recorded in the collection of the Wou Lien-Pai Museum as published in Rose Kerr et al., Chinese Antiquities from the Wou Kiuan Collection, Surrey, 2011, pl. 177 (fig. 2).
Another example depicting Kanaka is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, accession number 02.18.640 and a further example as Cudapanthaka are in the is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
A sixteen-fold screen with inlaid jade plaques portraying the sixteen luohans, including a depiction of Angaja derived from the same source as the present jade, dated to the forty-second year of the Qianlong reign (1777) is in the Palace Museum, Beijing, exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art (22 June 2012 - 14 October 2012), and illustrated in A Lofty Retreat from the Red Dust: The Secret Garden of Emperor Qianlong, Hong Kong, 2012, pp.216-233, no.53.
A Qianlong Imperial jade screen with the same image of Agaja and inscribed with the same script and seals as the present examples was offered by Bonhams Hong Kong, 24 November 2012, lot 307 and Christie’s Hong Kong, 29 November 2022, lot 3049.

Mingqi or spirit objects, popularised during the Han Dynasty, were buried with the deceased in order to provide necessities and comforts in the afterlife. Camels began appearing in tombs by the 3rd century AD and became increasingly common in northern burials from the 5th-8th centuries. Adapted to their natural habitat in the steppes and mountainous deserts north of China, Bactrian camels were often used to transport military and other goods to and from the harsh frontier.

Paduan School (16th century), probably cast by Francesco Segala (c.1535-1592) from the model by Tiziano Aspetti (c.1517-1552): A Pair of Bronze Figures of a Prophet and Sibyl, he standing wearing flowing robes holding a leather-bound volume, she in flowing robes holding a scroll across her wrap 22cm high, on later green marble bases
For a similar example of the Prophet, see Metropolitan Museum, New York, accession number 18.111.
Having identified the model of the male figure as Moses in his 1921 book on Venetian sculptors, Leo Planiscig attributed this model to Tiziano Aspetti. However, in 1976 Ian Wardropper observed that the figure holds a book rather than a tablet of the law and should be considered a prophet. In 1545 Aspetti was commissioned to execute a Serraglio (grille) for the Santo in Padua. Vasari records that this commission remained incomplete due to the premature death of the sculptor. In 1564 Paduan sculptor Francesco Segala requested the models in order to make casts.

First recorded in the Ludovisi Collection in 1623, the antique marble known as ‘The Dying Gaul’ was acquired for the Capitoline Museums by Pope Clement XII. Initially thought to be a Roman Gladiator it is now known to be a Roman copy of a Hellenistic bronze, probably by Epigonus, court sculptor to Attalus, depicting a wounded Galatian, whose army invaded the kingdom of Pergamon in the third century BC.
Since the marble’s discovery, it has become one of the most widely reproduced Classical figures with examples in bronze, marble and alabaster.
