Pair of Chinese Wood Statues of Guanyin

About the Item

A pair of polychrome carved wood statue depicting Guanyin, the Chinese goddess of Mercy. They were likely dated to late Qing dynasty but executed in Ming dynasty style. The Bodhisattva are in the seated "Royal Ease" pose, with the bejeweled goddess resting on a rock. Beautiful and detailed carving rendered a facial expression that is full of calmness and compassion. The two are similar in size and mounted on the same base, but are complimentary instead of being identical. They were likely created and kept together as they show similar craftsmanship, attention to details and patina.
