Product description
This 19th-century Chinese bronze statue depicts Guanyin, the bodhisattva associated with compassion, mercy, and protection. The figure stands in a calm, frontal pose upon a modelled lotus base, holding a ritual attribute in both hands, reflecting the serene expression and flowing drapery characteristic of devotional sculpture from the late Qing period. Cast in a copper-alloy bronze, the statue measures 45.7 centimetres in height and 13.6 centimetres in width. The piece has developed an even natural patina over time. The underside is closed, displaying characteristics associated with traditionally cast household and temple statues from this era. The statue remains in good condition, preserving its structural integrity and original character. The surface wear is consistent with age and devotional handling, adding to the authenticity of the piece. With its substantial height and slender silhouette, this figure has a graceful yet commanding presence. It serves as a timeless addition for collectors of Chinese Buddhist art, antique Asian bronzes, and historic devotional sculpture, suitable for display in a curated interior or personal collection.
