Object description

Skulptur av såpsten föreställande kvinna med en persika i höger hand och en trana vid vänster hand.

Enligt Per-Olow Leijon föreställer figuren Xiwangmu, Drottningmodern i Väst.

Xiwangmu är den taoistiska odödlighetsgudinnan som bor i Kun Lun-bergen i ett stort palats i en vidsträckt trädgård. I denna trädgård blommar persikoträden, för vilkas frukter det tar 3000 år att mogna. Den som äter av dessa frukter blir odödlig. Hennes vanligaste attribut är persikor och hon åtföljs vanligen av en trana som hon använder som stridshäst./CR

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
