Guanyin Figure Of Rare Chinese Hardwood 18th Century Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Sculpture: Pre 1900 item# 136391 (stock# 38-50)

A finely done representation of Guanyin, Chinese goddess of mercy and compassion, this figure is carved of hwa yong, a slow-growing hardwood. The carving was coated first with red lacquer, which was then covered over in most areas with dark brown lacquer.

The Chinese goddess of mercy, Guanyin, is carved in relief riding on the back of a dragon whose feet are supported by clouds. Although the stone is irregularly cut around the edges, the carving appears to have been done as a stand-alone tablet rather than as part of a larger plaque.

The rest of the piece is in excellent co ...click for details
