About the Item

This figure produced in Dauhan porcelain in China in the 1780s represents the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara known in China as Quanyin. She is the figure most associated with compassion and mercy. Dauhun porcelain is a type of true white wares made in Dehua in Fujian Province. This first appeared in the late Song Dynasty in small amounts but reached its greatest achievements in the Ming Dynasty. The material's plastic consistency allowed for well-defined shapes that included boxes, vases, jars, cups, joss stick holders, and most significantly Buddhist & Taoist secular figures. During the late Ming dynasty, the potters of Dehau produced large amounts destined for export to Southeast Asia and in the 18th century large amounts began to be sold as export wares to Europe were it was imitated by Saint-Cloud in France and Chelsea and Box in England. This figure made in the later days of the Qianlong emperor's reign (1735 to 1796) is modeled seated in the lalitasana pose with the right leg upright. She is shown in voluminous robes opened at the neck her sleeve bunched up at the wrist to show her right hand resting exposed on her raised knee. Her left hand holds a vase with a flowering branch. Her hair is gathered in an elaborate chignon partially covered with an elegantly draped cowl. The meditative tilted head is dominated by downcast eyes and a benign expression. This finely modeled figure is clean and rather unadorned concentrating the viewer's attention on the pose, face, and hands all sacred attributes of the spiritual attainment of the Goddess. The piece was purchased on this stand, a fine old carved rosewood 19th century base, though not one specifically designed and made to conform to its overall shape. With only a few firing cracks which are visible in the photos, the figure is in excellent condition with no damage or breaks

19th Century Tibetan Patinated Bronze Figure of Tara on New Black Base

Located in Hudson, NY

This fine old bronze of Tara was made for the purpose of focusing on the process of meditation regarding her aspects of wisdom and compassion. Crafted in Tibet but nearer to India and its influences this figure is an interesting combination of Hindu and Buddhist art and religion. Originally Tara was conceived as a Hindu mother goddess with the spread of Buddhism she was redesigned sometime after 4th century giving her a new role within the spreading Buddhist religion. This seems to have taken place in Shri Lanka and then spread out and back into India and Tibet thru China. At this time Shri Lanka was a great trading center and was host to many religious aspects, sects and ideals. The figure is cast with many fine details and is patinated in a warm green, brown showing traces of a coppery red color. The bronze content of this figure has a high amount of copper in the smelting giving the bronze a rich internal red color.

Behold this majestic depiction of Guanyin, rendered in porcelain with remarkable skill and artistry. Standing almost waist-height, this monumental statue exudes a sense of tranquility and spiritual presence that captivates the beholder. The figure of Guanyin is beautifully stylized, featuring a high bun adorned with a draped head covering that adds an air of elegance to the composition.
