Description
Empress Duc Tu Cung's Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty Pink Jade Happy Buddha Statuette (From a Vietnamese Royal Family) - This impressive piece of imperial Vietnamese history is a carved pink jade Happy Buddha statuette, which according to our seller was kept by Empress Duc Tu Cung. This piece truly belongs in a museum, as Empress Dowager Doan Huy was the last queen of the Nguyen dynasty, and the mother of Emperor Bao Dai. The Empress Dowager was known for devoting herself to preserving the former capital of Hue after the fall of Nguyen Dynasty, and for sponsoring the restoration of Thai Temple and other war torn mausoleums of Nguyen royals. This is a true modern day treasure, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Vietnamese history. This stunning piece is carved from one solid piece of gorgeous pink jade. This piece comes from the estate of a Vietnamese Royal Family (the family now lives in the United States, and wishes to remain private as they still have relatives living in Vietnam). Measurements: 5.5"H x 6"W.
