This lovely carving of a beautiful young woman represents an attendant that would have been housed on a home altar or shrine to accompany an enlightened Buddhist or Taoist figure at whom she modestly gazes. Her hands, covered by a draped ritual cloth, hold offerings and the swirling ribbon implying her power, weightlessness or being in the heavens. This truly elegant and forceful statue with winding ribbons reflect the auspicious phrase “May longevity bring blessings.” Its lustrous patina attained over centuries adds to its depth, softness and grace which enhance the energy in any space it occupies.

This rare carving of the infant Buddha with well defined features is clearly a provincial rendering that uniquely departs from traditional renderings. He holds a monk’s begging bowl as he points to the heavens and he stands on a lion’s head, as he is the lion of the Shakya clan. Given its small size, it was probably displayed on a home altar.

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.
