17TH C. CHINESE MING DYNASTY GILT BRONZE SEATED GUANYIN...East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 17th century CE. A wonderful bronze statue rich with iconography of a Bodhisattva known as Avalokiteshwara (also Guanyin, Guan Yin, Kuanyin in Chinese), the goddess of kindness, compassion, and mercy, boasting a lustrous gilded visage. Seated in lotus position on an integral plinth, the tranquil deity is heavily adorned with a plumed crown and several lengthy strands of Japamala (prayer beads) that cascades down her chest, wraps around her waist, and lays in her lap. Many eye-shaped pendants are featured across the strands, possibly referencing her title as "The One with a Thousand Arms and Thousand eyes." Her right hand rests in her lap in the Abhayamudra, or gesture of fearlessness, as her left hand is raised in the Varadamudra, which is the "generosity gesture." A translucent robe flows down her body, displaying a decorative hem at her shoulders, opening at her chest, and then falling into a puddle of fabric below her, as a slender ribbon winds around her arms. Size: 6.875" W x 11.5" H (17.5 cm x 29.2 cm)
Flanked by sizable ears, her serene visage displays downcast eyes beneath a sweeping brow, a naturalistic nose, and bowed lips held in a gentle smile. Sinuous branches seemingly rise from her arms displaying two objects of her iconography: a parrot, symbolic of a faithful disciple, on her left and a vase, one of the eight symbols of good fortune, on her right. A lovely abstract relief decorates the periphery of her corseted pedestal.
Bodhisattvas are among the most compassionate beings in the universe, devoting themselves to saving the suffering and helping others achieve enlightenment and Buddhahood. Traditionally depicted as less austere than Buddhas with graceful postures and elegant garments, a nod to the riches of the Northwestern Chinese Silk Road, this piece is no exception. Guanyin is associated with compassion and mercy - her long ears significant, because they rescue all human beings by hearing their cries for help and the sounds of suffering.

Monumental Chinese Ming Wood Bodhisattva Guanyin: East Asia, China, late Ming to early Qing dynasties, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A lifesize, hand-carved, three-dimensional, wooden portrayal of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. The surface is fully lacquered and would once have been brightly colored, though age has given it a rich, dark wood glow with the colors barely differentiated. This sculpture would have been set into a niche in a temple, and there is a small square opening in the back that would have held prayer scrolls. Devout Buddhists would have visited it and placed offerings before it. Size: 20" L x 27" W x 48" H (50. 8 cm x 68. 6 cm x 121. 9 cm). . Guanyin, known outside China as Avalokitesvara, "The Lord Who Gazes Down At The World", is often portrayed as both male or female, and the soft features and androgynous body of this example gives an impression of ethereal beauty. Guanyin sits atop a throne whose details are mainly hidden by the voluminous drapes and folds of his robes, but which appears to be a part of nature, with wave-like curls visible under the lower foot. Guanyin raises one leg up to perch atop the throne and serve as a rest for one arm; the other arm leans back on the throne and the figure is slightly hunched, head down, as if contemplating or listening closely. Atop Guanyin's head is a crown featuring a seated Buddha and other Buddhist symbols all carved in relief. The bodhisattva also wears a beautiful necklace and large bracelet and armlet, giving the entire sculpture a sumptuous appearance. . . In Buddhist belief, Bodhisattvas are among the most compassionate beings in the universe, devoting themselves to saving the suffering and helping others achieve enlightenment and Buddhahood. For example, Guanyin's long ears are significant, in order to hear the cries of the suffering and rescue them. In Chinese art from this time period and earlier, they are depicted as less austere than Buddhas, with graceful postures and elegant garments, a nod to the riches of the Northwestern Chinese Silk Road. This piece is no exception. . . Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Mark Kobiachi collection, Hawaii, USA, 1980-2000. . All items legal to buy/sell under U. S.
