A GILT-LACQUERED WOOD FIGURE OF AVALOKITESHVARA, MING DYNASTY
明代鎏金漆觀音木像
Sold for €3,640
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1368-1644. Finely carved seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base with beaded edges, his left hand raised toward the chest and his right lowered above his lap. Wearing long flowing robes secured at the waist with a belt and cascading in voluminous folds, and richly adorned with beaded jewelry. The serene face heightened with pigment and marked by heavy-lidded eyes, gently arched brows, and full lips, flanked by long pendulous earlobes. The hair falling elegantly in strands over the shoulders and arranged in a high chignon behind the foliate crown centered by a small image of the Buddha Amitabha.
Provenance: From a private estate in New York City, USA.
Condition: Fine condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear and some weathering, expected age cracks, minor losses, the front of the base with an old fill, flaking to lacquer, possibly minuscule touchups. Fine, naturally grown patina overall. The lacquer gilding, especially the face, is remarkably well preserved.
