- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Yuan to Ming Dynasty, ca. 1271 to 1644 CE. A wooden sculpture of the bodhisattva Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara), seated in a relaxed lalitasana pose (royal ease) atop a pedestal resembling a rocky outcropping. She is depicted in flowing robes cinched across her chest, with a plump face and elaborate headdress, embodying femininity and grace. The surface retains traces of white and red pigments as well as gesso. The back features a square niche with a removable cover, likely intended for inserting prayers or votive offerings. Guanyin is a shortened form of the widely used Chinese name for the bodhisattva of compassion: Guanshiyin, meaning "The One Who Perceives the Sounds of the World." While initially depicted as male in Indian Buddhism, Guanyin has been predominantly represented as female in China and much of East Asia since around the 12th century, influenced by various sociocultural and geographical factors. Size: 8" W x 16" H (20.3 cm x 40.6 cm)
