A SOAPSTONE STANDING FIGURE OF GUANYIN
LATE MING-EARLY QING DYNASTY, 17TH CENTURY
The figure is carved standing on a later base of swirling waves, holding a scroll in her right hand and rosary beads in the left. She wears long draping robes that are incised and gilt with patterns and inlaid with gems. There is a serene expression to the face, with the eyes downcast. The stone is of pale honey-brown colour with reddish inclusions.
