    Description

    This ONE OF A KIND 18 pieces Lohan or Arhat Jade tile set, was purchased while we owned a Bead and Craft store in a resort town in Montana in 2013/14, from
    a 94 year old man who came into the store and asked if we would consider buying his wife's bead collection as she was now in hospice in Arizona with Parkinson?s. Her beads still being here in Montana were of no use to them anymore. He needed to unload the collection, amongst other things, and get back to her side.  He was a great old gentleman with a worldly outlook and as much wisdom as intent behind his eyes. His wife he said, was an avid bead enthusiast and collected beads of all sorts in her exciting World travels, nearly 70 years ago now.
    It turned out to be a full room of treasure boxes from all over the world. Not just beads ... functioning art and Cultural pieces. Her Tibet and China and Japan collections were several boxes ... these lovely Blue/Green Jade tiles are among the most interesting.
    Tile sizes run from 3/4” to 1-1/8’ tall and 5/8” to 7/8” wide. Thickness runs between 1/4” and 1/8”.
    The 18 Immortals (Lohans or Arhats) were the ones who attained complete enlightenment from the Buddha.
    I don't understand the writing on the backside of each Character tile, so I cannot tell you what they mean.
    But I am sure the mystery will be a great conversation starter. Enjoy.
