AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Refined and imposing white porcelain sculpture by Dehua (Blanc de Chine) depicting the divinity Guanyin (Bodhisattva of Compassion), seated in a meditation pose on a circular base with a double ring of inverted lotus petals.
The deity is depicted with a serene expression and half-closed eyes, with the hair elegantly gathered into a high chignon (topknot) adorned with a diadem. It wears a flowing robe rich in soft drapery that slips sinuously down the body. In the hands, joined in the meditation gesture (dhyana mudra), it guards a sacred pearl.
The porcelain is distinguished by the characteristic translucent glaze color of warm cream/ivory, silky to the touch, a distinctive feature of the famous Dehua manufacture. On the back of the statue are clearly stamped two marks embedded in the porcelain body: a squash/gourd mark and a square seal beneath, attesting to its type and artistic origin.
An artwork of great elegance, perfect for collectors of Oriental art and for the decoration of exclusive interiors.
