- A sculpture grown by a shellfish.
These little Buddhas have a surface of pearl. A living mussel made it.
- First, a tiny shaped insert.
The insert goes against the inner shell, beneath the mantle: the animal’s soft tissue.
- Then, layer after layer.
The mantle deposits nacre over the insert. Its shape stays; its surface becomes pearl.
- People shaped it. Life finished it.
This craft was practised in China by the 13th century. The pearl surface grew around a human idea.
