中国嵌银 "石叟 "式铜观音像 明代晚期 双手叉腰，双目低垂，面带沉思的表情，梳着高高的发髻，以优雅的发饰固定，长袍和面纱上饰有银丝编织的如意云纹和叶状卷边。 背面有 "石叟 "二字款，重 8 公斤，长 48.6 厘米。 出处：英国苏塞克斯私人收藏。 石叟的嵌银青铜器以其卓越的品质而著称，但没有任何记录资料可以确认其制作者的身份。石叟被认为是活跃于明朝晚期（约 1620-44 年）的一位僧侣，也有可能石叟的印记与青铜工作室或学校有关。与这位铜匠有关的铜像的一贯特点是造型典雅，本件作品就是如此。北京故宫博物院藏有三件类似的嵌银观音铜像，均嵌有 "石叟 "款识，年代为明代：故宫博物院藏观音像》，第 43-45 页。另一件青铜嵌银观音的变体带有石叟款，年代为 16 世纪中叶至 17 世纪中叶，插图见 Sydney L Moss Ltd 的展览目录《皇帝学者工匠僧侣：中国艺术品中的创造性人格》，第 280-281 页，编号 132。 明晚期铜错银石叟款观音立像 來源：英國薩塞克斯私人收藏。
