A 'DEHUA' FIGURE OF GUANYIN QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY |

seated in laliltasana, long robes draping from the shoulders to reveal a ruyi necklace at the chest before falling in folds over the body, the right foot emerging beneath the hem, the slightly downcast face with a benevolent expression framed by a high chignon

There is a glazed-over firing gap running from the proper left breast to the base (as illustrated), additional firing lines to the interior, and a few tiny iron spots.
