IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF HONG KONG TOMMY LAM - ASIAN ART
1 - 100
Mr. Tommy Lam's collection is one of the most important private collections of Asian art, highlighting his unique and top quality jade pieces. For the first time, after a long career as a collector, he presents an exclusive sample of his large collection.
Mr. Tommy Lam is a successful businessman, gemologist and philanthropist specializing in jewelry and a member of the Hong Kong Jade Chamber of Commerce (香港玉器商會). His appreciation for Chinese culture has prompted him to participate since the 1980s continuously in charitable activities, highlighting donations in education with the development of schools and teaching materials. Likewise, his restless mind has led him to achieve multiple achievements and trophies in various hobbies, including sport fishing, traditional garden design, golf and as a sports racing driver.
Another of his interests is the history of China, which is why he took up collecting Chinese art in the 1980s, leading him to obtain various items of Chinese culture ranging from the Neolithic period to the end of the Qing dynasty. Over the course of these 40 years he has studied and inspired more people to share this interest as a national pride.

White jade figure "Deer", Qing dynasty, Qianlong
A Hetian white jade figure carved in one piece. It shows three figures together: a kneeling person holding a jug in both hands, a deer on his shoulders, and on the side a baby calf next to a sphere. The details of the representation are remarkable. It is in very good condition.
The figure has the features of "Maitreya Buddha" the successor of "Sakyamuni Buddha", according to Chinese Buddhism. The set corresponds with the legend "鹿乳奉亲" (Deer's milk for marriage). The story tells how a person called "Tanzi", a son of the Zhou dynasty, risked his life to get deer milk to take care of his family. The deer he is milking has a calf and therefore has milk. In addition, the ball means health. There is a temple and a tomb of Tanzi, although much is unknown.
Provenance: Important collection of Tommy Lam, Hong Kong, since 1980.
