Antique Museum Quality Handcrafted Marble Guanyin.  Kwan-yin. Hardwood Stand.  China

Click the photo above for a larger version and more pictures

 

 

Hand-carved marble head of Guanyin, the Buddhist bodhisattva associated with compassion.  The expression is priceless and the headgear / crown with an engraved Buddha is a real bonus.

 

Acquired from a jeweler in Beverly Hills California who has had it since the 1970s, when he purchased it from a reputable antique dealer in Hebei.

 

The hardwood stand is elegant and most likely rosewood.

 

No chips or cracks in the marble head.  There is a vein of black marble that appears on the back of the head . . .  only adding to its beauty. The marble head is permanently attached to the hardwood base.

 

A true piece of elegance.

 

This item has SOLD.  Thanks M.S. !!!
