This rare and intriguing Nanhai Guanyin sits in her cave with internal layers at Putuo. On the top is the donor who commissioned the piece, seldomly placed within the Guanyin tableau.Two levels of attendant pairs flank her: the upper with her two acolytes Longnu, (the Dragon Princess) on her right holding a flaming gem, and Shan Tsai (Sudhana) on her left with hands, now missing, clasped in anjali mudra of reverence and two generic attendants are on the on the bottom. This work is truly remarkable in its execution and iconography.
