Golden Lacquer Image of
the Bodhisattva Kuan-yin
Ch'ing Dynasty (A.D. 1644-
1911)
Height 73cm
In this image,
the Bodhisattva Kuan-yin
is portrayed with
a countenance of
compassionate solemnity,
and with sleeves gently
wafting in the breeze.
Exquisite embellishments
of beads and flowers have
been applied. On the base
appears the commercial
mark of a Foochow lacquer
atelier. It is a masterpiece
of Foochow lacquer ware of
more recent times.
