A CARVED WOOD STANDING GUANYIN
Ming dynasty
The deity realistically carved, holding a small figure of a lion in her left
hand as she stands on a double-tiered lotus base, her hair gathered
into an elegant topknot held in place by a large and elaborate crown
with two plaits falling across each shoulder to frame the face with
downcast eyes and enormous ears, the deity’s flowing robes overlaid
with large garlands of jewels and flanked by pendant scarves,
remnants of pigments adhering in the recesses of the carving.
