Guanyin, The Goddess of Mercy (坐觀音), late Qing, is seated upon a rocky base with both hands in front of her raised knee. Her hair is neatly arranged on top of her head, held with an intricate hairpin and she is draped in long flowing robes. A scroll (Dharma) rests on a small ledge to her left side. Her head is slightly lowered with eyes cast downward, conveying a sense of inner peace, meditation, and concentration as she listens for the "cries of the world". The item is in excellent condition.
