Cadence drums in the form of carved pairs of fish are used by monks and lay people in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition to create a cadence and chanting rhythm during rituals when reciting and memorizing sutras, mantras, and other Buddhist texts. This rare beautiful drum is held by its handle composed of a pair of fish surrounding a pearl symbolizing unity and harmony and struck on the side with a wood mallot. Wear on its rear side indicates years of use.

This Guanyin image was probably one of a pair of images along with the Taoist Queen Mother of the West (16206A-WACK) placed together on a community, local temple or home altar. Created by the same local artisan, they are provincial rather than imperial style having a humble, unadorned and simple rendering, seated on backless thrones, hands covered by a ritual cloth, uncharacteristic of Guanyin but common for Taoist goddesses. Both wear layered robes and a high pointed crown – the Queen Mother’s centered by a phoenix and Guanyin’s by a flower surrounded by symbolic aureole of radiating light. Both have soft blissful smiles with eyes cast slightly downwards to engage their devotees. Initially covered in bright polychrome colors, there are traces of surviving red, yellow, green, brown and black.
