Large Carved Chinese Marble Bust Head of Guanyin Buddhist Bodhisattva Sculpture

About the Item

Beautiful marble Quan Yin. Very large and incredibly heavy (needs additional padding on the underside or a stand to help balance the bust so that it can stand up properly). Nicely carved and detailed. Acquired from a collection of Asian artifacts. As we don't know the exact age of the work we are simply listing it as 20th century. Clearly a statement piece in any setting. Would definitely stand out in about any setting. Dimensions: 17" high, 10.5" wide, 8" deep.

    This is truly a wonderful piece with clear age and a nice patina to it. Very unique. We have not seen another quite like it.

Most likely dates back to the Edo period. Would make for a nice addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts...
