Lot 2725 | A LARGE SILVER-INLAID BRONZE FIGURE OF GUANYIN
A LARGE SILVER-INLAID BRONZE FIGURE OF GUANYIN

QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY

The bodhisattva is modelled standing in a graceful pose, slightly turned to her right with her head inclined. It is finely detailed with the eyes downcast and lips gently dented to provide a benevolent expression on her face beneath the elaborately coiffed hair. She wears a long loose celestial robe, inlaid with silver-wire cloud patterns and classic scroll at the hem, that falls in soft folds to the tops of the bare feet and is open at the chest to reveal a bejewelled necklace centred by a beaded lotus medallion. Her left arm is holding a ruyi sceptre while her right hand is concealed beneath her long robe. The back is incised with a four-character Yutang Shisou (monk Shisou of the Jade Hall) mark in a vertical line with a Yuanhe ernian (the second year of the Yuanhe reign) mark on the base.

31 ¼ in. (79.4 cm.) high
