A RARE SET Sculptures of complete set of 18 Lohans are very rare. Because of the rarity they are sought eagerly by collectors all over the world. According to an expert in stone carving collections, this set was the work of the Qing Dynasty, carved out of a very high grade of Shoushan stone. The craftsmanship, as can be seen from the carvings, is of supreme quality. The Lohans are carved in great details, showing the lively expression of each Lohan, as well as the wrinkles of the clothes. Even the ribs of skinny Lohans can be clearly seen. The postures of the Lohans are so natural that it seems they are back to life once again.
Buddhism originated from India. The Buddha, son of a Nepal king, was born in about 566BC. As a young man he deeply sympathized with the sufferings of the people he saw around him. He left his luxurious home and sat under a bodhi tree and meditated. After a long time of meditation, on a full moon night of May, he realised the truth of exsistence of all things in all Dharmas, His thoughts and philosophy later evolved to become the teaching of Buddhism.
