The Damakan jadeite raw stone is cleverly carved into the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who vows not to become a Buddha until hell is empty!

This piece of material is a jadeite rough stone from the Damakan mine. It is a half-mountain and half-water stone. It has been opened on a large scale and has a crack on the back. At this point, some people wonder, what is half-mountain and half-water? Here the editor would like to tell you that the general jadeite raw stones are divided into mountain stones, water stones, and half mountain and half water stones. So the literal meaning is that the raw stone was originally on the mountain, and then for some reason it flowed into the river. Commonly known as half mountain and half water stone.

Although there are cracks on the back of this material, it doesn’t matter, because we have already taken the material, which is the one with snowflake cotton in the editor’s hand below.

It has a thick matte color and delicate texture with a little bit of snowflake cotton. We can carve skillfully on such material, grind off part of the surface of the yellow matte part, and then use the matte color to carve words on it.

The master has already drawn the subject on the material. In fact, at the beginning the master was worried about what to carve. After much thought, he decided to ask the customer what type he liked first. Finally, the customer decided on a Buddhist subject, which is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva designed below.

The master began to carve, and a piece of raw jade gradually revealed its amazing appearance through the skillful hands of humans.

The fog on the edge is carved into an object, which is compatible with the figures and mounts next to it, forming a sense of layering.

After the material is polished and polished, but before being polished, the basic advantages of the material itself are revealed.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is one of the most well-known Bodhisattvas in China. "I will not attain Buddhahood until hell is empty" is the motto of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and he is therefore devoutly worshipped by believers.

Ksitigarbha’s mount - Di Ting, as Ksitigarbha’s mount, has a loyal heart; Di Ting combines the images of many animals in one body, with the beauty of many things, such as a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and unicorn feet.
