AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful terracotta statue representing a seated deity in a meditation posture, eyes half-closed, wearing a long pink/red draped robe enhanced with gilding. The figure wears large gold earrings and a necklace, details typical of the iconography of Guanyin (Bodhisattva of Compassion) or a related figure in the Asian tradition.
The statue rests on a hexagonal base adorned with a frieze of Greek meander (the 'Greek key' motif) highlighted in gold, contrasting with the brown-earth tone of the body of the piece.
Marks and inscriptions:
The base is hollow and bears a handwritten inscription in white paint: "No. 2255/B", as well as a small hole drilled in the center.
It is in very good condition, with only a small chip on the base.
