Description

A refined and exceptionally detailed figure of Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion, executed in finely carved bone and dating from the 19th century. The depiction shows Guanyin in her multi-armed form, an iconography that symbolizes her ability to reach and help all beings.

The figure is richly crafted with complex draperies, graceful ornaments, and subtle polychrome accents that give the whole extra depth and liveliness. At the base, a small child is depicted, a reference to Guanyin as the protector of children and giver of blessings.

The composition is framed by a finely carved aureole with a central head, emphasizing the exalted and heavenly context of the figure. The entire piece rests on a matching wooden base.

A remarkable example of 19th-century Chinese carving, in which high craftsmanship and rich iconography come together harmoniously.
