Lohan Holding a Peach, 1662-1722. This lohan, disciple of Buddha with supernatural powers, was perhaps part of a house altar set or a decorative item in a household. Lohans, also known as arhats, are said to be able to tame tigers and tread on water. This lohan with a bald head is shown as a monklike figure, wearing a monk’s robe made of patches and holding the peach of immortality. This lohan and its pair holding a fu -dog (1964.191.2) embody a humorous attitude and playful behavior, indifference to danger and miracles, and hence a detachment from worldly affairs. During the 1600s, porcelain sculptures decorated in famille verte overglaze enamel colours were produced for the domestic as well as export market to Europe.
