About the Item

Very pretty and large statuette in white enameled porcelain called "Blanc de Chine", representing the goddess Guanyin seated in lalitasana (royal relaxation) on a rock near a jade vase, her left foot resting on a lotus. She holds a ruyi scepter and is accompanied by a child. Her dress half-opened at the neckline reveals a rich necklace. The porcelain work is very fine and delicate. The goddess is wonderfully represented. The finesse of his facial features gives him an air of serenity and kindness. The finesse and precision of the work of the draping and the windings give an impression of movement to the statue. Superb dimensions Dehua Porcelain China - 19th century - Qing Period Guanyin is the bodhisattva associated with compassion in East Asian Buddhism. The name Guanyin is a shortened form of Guanshiyin, "considering the sounds of the world." Initially a male figure, as in India, Guanyin became a female character in China and East Asia, something very rare in Buddhism. The name Guanyin is the Chinese translation of Avalokitasvara, which literally means “Observer (avalokita) of voices (svara)”. This name refers to the limitless compassion of the bodhisattva Avalokitasvara which leads him to observe the cries of suffering beings, with the aim of relieving them of their sorrows.
