A DEHUA FIGURE OF GUANYIN QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

the deity seated in lalitasana, draped in long flowing robes falling in folds around the bare left foot, the shawl loosely tied at the front revealing a beaded pendant on the bare chest, the right hand resting on the raised right knee, the left holding a scroll, the head slightly turned to the side with heavily lidded eyes and serene expression, the hair combed back into long knotted plaits falling down over the shoulders

There is a 3cm by 8mm area of the robe at the front that has been re-stuck and a 1cm by 3mm polished out chip to the right hand hem of the robe below the neck. There are a number of firing cracks running through the base up the interior of the figure.
