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 and her traditional three-part robe extending to her pedestal throne topped by flat lotus leaves.This remarkable carving 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.
