Description
A Silver Inlaid Bronze Figure of Guanyin
銅嵌銀絲觀音坐像
finely cast showing the figure posed upright with one leg gathered beneath bent knee supporting hands drawn to clasp a small scroll, all above a rocky base with a smaller peak elevating a bottle vase, the whole elevated on a rectangular plinth. The figures hair cascades down towards elaborate beaded jewelry, and fluid robes inlaid with delicate silver wires with wisps of cloud scrolls.
