A DEHUA FIGURE OF A STANDING FIGURE OF GUANYIN
18TH CENTURY
The bodhisattva is modelled with a full face with pendulent earlobes and
downcast eyes. The long hair is swept up into a topknot secured by a ruyi-
shaped hairpin. The fgure stands barefoot on a base of swirling clouds, with
both hands held in front of the body and left hand cradling a ruyi-sceptre. The
long robes fall open to reveal chains of pendent jewellery.
