SPECIAL SESSION
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 plaque "Buddha Ksitigarbha", Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644)
A Hetian white jade Buddhist plaque, rectangular with fine quality reliefs. Carved in the early 17th century during the Ming dynasty. Mounted on a custom-made wooden pedestal.
It depicts 'Buddha Ksitigarbha' on the front face, who is revered as one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Chinese Buddhism. His name means "earth" and "womb or possession", and his major function is to save suffering in the world or to guide people to the pure lands. This Bodhisattva does not take satisfaction in praise, but the others feel he is superior, and praise him as having greater compassion and aspiration.
On the back is a verse "本然清淨地 佛藏大慈尊" which is a part of the praise to "Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha" and the sutra. It is surrounded by a frame which, in turn, has a relief of lotus scrolls and above clouds.
