All auctions / Asian Art / Large Wood Figure of Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara) - 119cm...
A majestic and tall (119cm) polychrome wooden sculpture of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, also known as Avalokiteshvara Padmapani. This figure is depicted in a standing posture atop a double lotus base, holding a lotus bud — a symbol of purity and enlightenment. The sculpture is a classic representation of Chinese Buddhist art. It features a serene facial expression with downcast eyes, suggesting deep meditation, and a five-leaf crown. The flowing robes and scarves (celestial ribbons) provide a sense of movement and grace characteristic of the Qing period. Condition: The sculpture is in overall fair condition for its age. As shown in some of the images there are various age-related surface cracks and minor losses to the polychrome and gesso layers, which are expected in large wooden figures of this era. There is no major structural damage; the figure remains stable and impressive in stature. Provenance: Acquired in 1999 from a reputable antique dealer in Stuttgart, Germany, for 5,300 Deutsche Mark (Original invoice included). In the same private collection since 1999 (held by descent). Shipping: Personal collection in Berlin is preferred due to the size and delicate nature of the gesso. International shipping is possible via oversized parcel (>120cm) to all EU countries at 80€ postage through DHL.
