"Guanyin Porcelain Statue, Asia, 19th Century"
This elegant statue represents Guanyin, goddess of compassion and central figure of Mahayana Buddhism, embodying mercy, wisdom and benevolence. Made of porcelain during the 19th century, this work testifies to the artistic refinement specific to Asia at that time, particularly in China, where the cult of Guanyin enjoyed a particular influence. The deity is represented in a serene posture, dressed in a long flowing robe with delicately worked folds, her features imbued with softness and spirituality. This precious piece, both an object of devotion and a work of art, embodies ancestral know-how combining spirituality and aesthetics.
