KwanYin On Dragon

Chinese, late Qing Dynasty 1875-1911

h.40 in. X w.16 in. X d. 16 in.
Condition: Excellent
This exquisitely carved large boxwood sculpture depicts KwanYin, the embodiment of compassion, standing in tribhanger on a ferocious dragon frolicking in the whirlpool of the South Sea, which is the symbol of creative power, the spirit of change, and of life force itself. She is dressed in full robes, with eyes down-cast in serene expression, holding a life-giving vase in her right hand, a boon granting gesture in her left; which is a prototype established in Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). There is no other KwanYin image more loved by the Chinese and Japanese pilgrims.
