This outstanding rare Guanyin carving is a wonderful blend of Mahayana and Tantric (Tibetan) Buddhism and provincial Popular Religion folk traditions. Seated on a lotus above a hexagonal throne, right hand in abhaya protection mudra, her lobed crown is centered with Amitabha Buddha inside an aureole. The four agonized creatures struggling to hold calm Guanyin on their shoulders is a Tantric symbol of triumph of Buddhism over ignorance. With admonitions about greed, aversion and ignorance it is a great metaphor for our times.

This extraordinary Guanyin originates from rural provincial less literate China. Not made in a sophisticated “imperial” style, its great charm depends on straightforward forms in bright and decorative color combinations. Her oversized crown contains a framed Amitabha Buddha. Using vibrant unusual multi-colored color combinations, an informal sitting position, simplified, almost geometric shapes for the head and facial features and bright modest robes, she reflects a humble folk art image accessible to rural devotees. Its size indicates it was carved for a large home, clan or community temple.

Guanyin clearly dominates this majestic carving, in meditation and wearing an ornate high blue crown centered with an Amitabha Buddha in a deep arched border topped by flat lotus leaves.This remarkable Nanhai-Guanyin is extremely rare, unique and difficult to interpret. We have never seen a Guanyin in her cave at Putuo surrounded by with two sets of attendants, her acolytes Shan Tsai and the Dragon Princess Longnu and a seated Taoist official/ priest or possible the donor at the apex. This was clearly commissioned by a very wealthy donor who wished to make a spiritual statement while emphasizing his reverence and status.

Nanhai Guanyin sits in meditation on a pedestal framed by a large mandorla with her two acolytes (one deteriorated) with a benign expression with half-closed eyes, pursed smiling lips, pendulous ears, and a crown with an image of Buddha Amitabha. Most Buddhist carvings suffered severe damage during China’s modernization and antique Guanyin images with her attendants are very rare.
