Chinese Gilded Bronze Buddha Statue Of Guanyin
Chinese Gilded Bronze BUddha Statue of Guanyin.
Circa 19th century
Also known as Avalokiteshvara or Kwan-yin, she embodies the bodhisattva of compassion in East Asian Buddhism.
Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara), the bodhisattva of compassion, is depicted in a classic seated meditative posture.
Guanyin is dressed in elaborately crafted traditional attire; she sits upon a pedestal consisting of a multi-tiered lotus blossom set atop an architectural base. The figure is framed from behind by a mandorla adorned with flame motifs and depictions of dragons.
The piece features partial gilding—gold leaf or golden lacquer highlights the face, hands, and central garments—creating a striking contrast against the dark bronze (or lacquered surface) of the body and the pedestal.
