Product description
This is an old Chinese Guanyin or Kwanyin wooden statue, carved as a devotional image for use in a temple or on a home altar. The figure sits upright and holds a small ritual vase centrally in front of the body, a classic attribute associated with blessings, protection, and compassion. The face is compact and softly modeled, with half-closed eyes and a serene, understated expression. The proportions are solid and stable, giving the statue a distinct presence despite its size. This is not decorative carving, but a statue with function and meaning. The high headdress still shows traces of old polychromy and lacquer. Across the surface, you can see natural darkening, uneven wear, and areas where the original color has remained deep in the wood grain. This is a layered aging that cannot be "faked" but arises from time and use. The rectangular opening in the back confirms ritual consecration. Such statues were traditionally filled with sacred contents and then placed for daily use. The edges and interior show age and handling consistent with a true devotional object. The base is heavily weathered, with old cracks and erosion on the underside. The wear is irregular and deep into the grain, exactly as expected from old wood that has stood and lived for a long time. Dimensions: 31 x 15 cm Weight: approx. 0.9 kg Additional details: - Brand: 1stbuddha - Style: Antiek - Style: Chinees - Colour: Polychromie - Period: Antiek - availability: in_stock - product_type: Beeld / sculptuur
