Description

  • Height 18 in., 46 cm
'Guanyin of the Lion's Roar' seated in rajalilasana on the back of a recumbent qilin, the proper right hand resting palm down on the raised knee, the other arm propped on a dragon-headed rest, the deity with a single topknot encircled by a diadem centered by Amitabha, clothed in loosely draped robes and ornate jewelry, the caparisoned crouching beast craning its neck to peer up adoringly, all raised on a five-tiered lotus base

Condition

The figure is in structurally good condition with only very minor scattered dents and tiny losses to extremities (e.g., the tip of one lobe of the diadem, some fingertips, tips of some of the petals on the lotus throne), and wear to the surface causing the softening of some details and losses to the red lacquer and gilt (as illustrated).
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
