A decorative Chinese figure depicting Guanyin, the bodhisattva associated with compassion in East Asian Buddhist tradition. The figure is represented seated in a serene pose, wearing elaborate robes and an ornate crown. The surface features a gold-coloured finish with darker areas and visible variations in patination, giving the sculpture a distinctive traditional appearance. The original seller describes the figure as being made of copper and decorated with gilding, and attributes its design to the Ming tradition. This attribution has not been independently verified; therefore, the sculpture is offered conservatively as a Ming-style decorative Chinese figure rather than as an authenticated Ming Dynasty object.
