Blanc De Chine Figure Of Guanyin - China, 17th Century Late Ming Dynasty, Circa 1640–1660

‘Blanc de Chine’ Guanyin in porcelain, seated on a pierce rock. Her right hand is resting on her knee. The end of her left leg is not visible, although her crossed leg can be seen.
The hand is particularly long and the fingers particularly detailed compared to a similar model. The guanyin is covered with a creamy glaze.

Very good condition, a flaw in the enamelling of the hand on the part that joins it to the body, the hand must therefore have been professionally refixed (the hands were made separately then added to the body and fixed, then the whole enamelled) so no breakage.
