A DEHUA SEATED FIGURE OF GUANYIN
17TH CENTURY
The figure is delicately modelled with downcast eyes and a serene expression on her face. Her hair is swept up in a high chignon. She wears long draping robes open at the chest to reveal a lotus-shaped pendant. She is seated in royal ease with her right hand on her knee and her left hand holding a scroll. The base is crisply moulded as a rocky outcrop with a slender ledge at her left side. The reverse of the figure is stamped with an illegible four-character seal mark.
14 1/8 in. (36 cm.) high
