玉佛像自古即為至寶,宋代釋志盤《佛祖統紀》卷三十六記載“義熙二年,師子國獻玉佛像,高四尺二寸。”元代程巨夫《雪樓集》卷八載畏兀兒貴族大乘都入京朝見,元世祖“親賜侍宴衣冠,貂裘帽、金帶、銀器、玉佛像、銀鈔等前後相望,恩顧良勤。此件清代玉雕無量壽佛,質地粹美,雕工爐火純青,佛陀肉髻高聳,面相慈悲莊重,身著佛衣,雙手握缽,做禪定印,結跏趺坐於蓮花坐之上,姿態端整。佛陀寶相莊嚴,美玉寶光照人,可謂相得益彰。無量壽佛又稱長壽佛,是阿彌陀佛的報身像,其本意是意根清凈,意根清凈所起的智慧即妙觀察智。此器雕刻用料珍貴,雕琢精湛,刀工超凡,將佛家法相全盤雕出,為難得的佛教藝術精品。 可參考紐約佳士得2010年3月白玉佛坐像,拍品號1104,成交價USD 2,322,500
