A DEHUA FIGURE OF GUANYIN

17TH-18TH CENTURY

The Goddess of Mercy is shown seated with the right hand set on the raised right knee, and the left arm resting on a three-legged support with hand gently grasping a ruyi scepter. The figure is swathed in a long, flowing robe which falls open at the chest to reveal a ruyi-shaped necklace. The hair is held in a high chignon by a ruyi-shaped hairpin. The reverse is impressed with a four-character seal reading Lin Xizong yin (seal of Lin Xizong), and the base is carved with two characters, Ru Hao, possibly a name.
