A BRONZE SEATED FIGURE OF GUANYIN
LATE MING DYNASTY, 16TH-17TH CENTURY
The bodhisattva is shown seated in rajalilasana with the left leg tucked in front of the body and the right arm extended on top of the raised right knee, wearing long beaded necklaces and long robes tied at the waist and with incised borders that fall in gentle folds across the body and over the edge of the base. The face is finely cast with a gentle, contemplative expression below the hair, which is arranged on top of the head behind a tall, five-pointed crown centered by the seated figure of Amitabha Buddha, and in long knotted plaits that fall onto the shoulders.
13 in. (33.2 cm.) high, composite base
