click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $1500
This late 18th/early 19th century Chinese wood Buddha, nearly three feet tall, is carved in the Udayana image, an iconic pose used to portray the Shakyamuni Buddha. The figure, standing on a double lotus throne, gazes imperturbably out at the world with right hand extended in varada mudra, the Buddhist gesture of charity and blessings. Covering the entire wood surface are strong remains of original paint—russet , indigo and soft green define robes and throne; face, arms, hands and feet are co ...click for details

Chinese Bronze Buddha Shakyamuni Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Sculpture: Pre 1910 item# 157904 (stock# 38-51)

The expression on the full, rounded face of this late Qing Chinese Buddha is both tranquil and wise, and a slight smile adds to the enigma. The forehead is marked with the third eye of spiritual wisdom, the urna, and the bare chest is marked with a swastika, an ancient emblem derived from Sanskrit, that means "so be it" or resignation to what is. The Chinese representation of the Buddha Shakyamuni often includes the swastika as a symbol that denotes the heart and mind of Buddha. An ele ...click for details

Huanghauli Guanyin Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Sculpture: Pre 1920 item# 137747 (stock# 24-22)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 SOLD
Guanyin, Chinese bodhisattva of mercy, is finely carved in huanghauli. The graceful, slender lines of this early 20th century carving put emphasis on the grain and natural sheen of the rare wood. Immediately recognizable as Guanyin from the high headpiece, the figure wears a plain robe and no jewelry, unlike most Chinese images of the goddess. She is full-faced, smiling and looks almost merry, another departure from the usually serene and cool Guanyin representations. The carving is in perfect c ...click for details

Guanyin Figure Of Rare Chinese Hardwood 18th Century Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Sculpture: Pre 1900 item# 136391 (stock# 38-50)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $1900
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 red color was retained to define the inner folds of the robe and to focus attention on the delicately carved hands and feet. Over time, the brown lacquer has worn thin in other areas allowing the red to show through and creating a pleasing ...click for details

18th Century Chinese Ceramic Guanyin Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Sculpture: Pre 1800 item# 136361 (stock# 35-59)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $790
This 18th century ceramic figure of the Chinese Buddhist bodhisattva of mercy is unusual in several respects. The form is uncharacteristically simple for the popular Chinese goddess who typically was shown with elaborate flowing robes. The pert face is particularly different with its full lips, upturned nose and wide eyes. Only one hand is visible and it rests on her right knee. The high beaded headpiece and heavy necklace identify the small statue as Guanyin. The hollow ceramic figure is heavil ...click for details

19th Century Chinese Carved Stone Guanyin Tablet Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Sculpture: Pre 1900 item# 136356 (stock# 39-11)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 Auction
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 Buddhist bodhisattva Guanyin has been a popular Chinese figure for centuries. This carving possibly was displayed outside as the face of the goddess is slightly weathered. The rest of the piece is in excellent co ...click for details
