In this provincial carving for private devotion on a home altar, Nanhai Guanyin sits in tranquilly in anjali mudra at her cave home on Putuo on a lotus throne set on an open lotus framed by a backdrop arch of openwork with pierced cut outs. She wears a five-lobed crown and flowing robes symbolizing her regal status in contrast to her modest robes. Few small Nanhai Guanyin figures have survived, and they are highly prized. In feng shui, Guanyin statues should be in the center of the home to bring blessings to the entire home.

Guanyin clearly dominates this majestic carving sitting in meditation. She wears 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 as it is so rare and unusual. We have never seen a Guanyin in her cave at Putuo surrounded by with two pairs of attendants that include her acolytes Shan Tsai and the Dragon Princess Longnu and a seated Taoist official/priest or possible the donor at the apex. This was likely commissioned by a very wealthy donor who wished to make a spiritual statement while also emphasizing his reverence and status.

This remarkable spiritual work combines characteristics of provincially rendered carvings with imperially sanctioned images of Nanhai Guanyin. She sits in meditation on a backless throne on a stylized rocky outcrop flanked by twisting vertical structures holding her vial and white parrot. Her half-closed eyes glance down serenely under painted arched eyebrows. She wears an arched crown over hair looped over her ears and down her shoulders and flowing gold robes bordered in red in contrast to the flesh tones of the face, chest, and hands. Much of the pigmentation and gilt on this artfully rendered image remains. Surviving depictions of her with the vial and the filial parrot in good condition are relatively rare.

This charming Nanhai Guanyin sits serenely yet majestically in lalitsana in her cave on Putuo island holding the Lotus Sutra in which she is described. A green vase is at her side containing the tears of humanity, sometimes referred to as the divine nectar of life she uses to relieve suffering. She is supported by three lotuses, Buddhist symbols of purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. Originally placed on a home altar, it has an aura of calm and compassion that would enhance any meditative setting.
