A well carved soapstone sculpture of Guanyin seated on Xiezhai, Qing dynasty, 18th/19th century.

The deity dressed in long, loosely draped robes, her right hand holding a document crossed over her lap, her hair elaborately tied, emerging from under her hood, the figure shown seated in lilasana on a blanket draped over the back of the creamy yellow-colored, fanged xiezhai, its head turned as to look at the kneeling attendant by his hind leg. Height 10.5 cm. Length 9.5 cm.

Natural inclusions and feathering to the stone.

Provenance

Property of a Finnish private collector.
