Ming-style Sculpture of Chinese Bodhisattva Guanyin, circa 1900s, 6518
About the Item
A large Ming-style sculpture of Chinese Bodhisattva Guanyin, circa 1900s, from a century-old US collection. Dated circa 1900s based on the face (bulbous eyes and parrot nose), style of the robes (especially the distinctive cinched rippled robes at the chest held together with a bow), and look of the wood. It was purchased just over 100 years ago by an (American) family living in China, where they lived in the late 19th/early 20th century as international merchants. It was shipped to the US in the 1930s, where it sat in storage for 85 years until recently when the grandson (now in his 80s) opened the storage unit and decided to disburse much of the collection. It is in good condition, as can be seen in the photos - most of the original poly-chrome remains. There is a loss to the crown (which contained 3 Buddhas), loss and splits to the ribbons, and missing hands. Otherwise, it is in good condition. The piece is near life-size at a full 32.5 inches tall by 23 inches wide by close to 17 inches deep. Due to the size, age, and delicacy of this piece, it will probably need to be crated and shipped. We will work with the winner to identify the best local shipper - 6518.
