Chinese Ming Dynasty Painted and Carved Statue of Guanyin, 15th or 16th Century
About the Item
A Ming dynasty period 15th or 16th century painted stone sculpture of the Bodhisattva of Compassion Guanyin in a seated position. Created in China during the Ming dynasty, this marble statue features Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, depicted in a seated position, wearing a large Chinese monastic dress and a headscarf. Her clothes are accented with the red color that is characteristic of Guanyin representations. The drapery demonstrates the undeniable mastery of the Chinese stone carving. The Goddess holds one of her symbols in her left hand, a jade vase. The face is rendered with a soft and serene smile painted in red and black with finesse, conveying the Goddess' compassion. This rare 15th or 16th century painted Guanyin statue from China will make for a wonderful decorative item in any home, perhaps placed in a living room, a bedroom, or in a den where her calm attitude would certainly encourage work.

The man is dressed in a short black surcoat over a long robe and pants, a smart cap upon his head. His face is warm and welcoming, with wide eyes and a slight smile on his lips. He holds his hands out in front of him, palms up, almost as if shrugging, though presumably originally holding an object or offering, now lost. The woman of slightly smaller stature, and dressed in a longer surcoat over a long robe and skirt. She wears a fitted cap upon her head. Her hands also held out in front, grasping long lost objects. Her face is slightly more severe, with a somewhat pinched look, and slight frown upon her lips.
