A DEHUA SEATED FIGURE OF GUANYIN QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

seated on a pierced rockwork base, the hair parted and tied into two knots, holding an alms bowl in the right hand resting on the raised knee, wearing a long flowing robe tied at the waist and falling open to reveal a lotus necklace, a ribbon-tied book on a rocky outcrop to the left, the back impressed with a He Chaozong square seal mark, mounted on a wood stand

Both hands are restored, and there are three missing fingers to the right hand, and one missing finger to the left. The figure has not been examined outside of its mount.
