Overview
Carved in white marble of the type commonly known as Hanbaiyu, this standing Luohan presents a dignified devotional image with impressive vertical presence. The figure stands on a lotus base and combines ascetic facial definition with refined robe carving, while remaining traces of pigment and inscription-like details enrich the surface. One hand is raised in a gesture of reassurance or instruction, and the other holds prayer beads, giving the sculpture an immediately legible religious identity. The result is a figure with both monumentality and quiet spiritual gravity.
