This extraordinary Guanyin originates from rural provincial less literate China. Not made in a sophisticated “imperial” style, its great charm depends on straightforward forms in bright and decorative color combinations. Her oversized crown contains a framed Amitabha Buddha. Using vibrant unusual multi-colored color combinations, an informal sitting position, simplified, almost geometric shapes for the head and facial features and bright modest robes, she reflects a humble folk art image accessible to rural devotees. Its size indicates it was carved for a large home, clan or community temple.

This charming miniature Ming dynasty ceramic horseshoe pottery chair is an accurate model of an impressive beautifully grained hardwood Ming chair with a continuous horseshoe shaped top rail and a caned seat. The curved splat of a wood chair might have either carved or pierced motifs or medallions and straight or curved stretchers joining the legs in pairs at the same height on each side. Often ancestral carved figures were portrayed sitting in horseshoe chairs and reflect the high status of the figure they were portraying. This ceramic mingqi (burial item) has a thick green glaze throughout which was liberally applied normal usual drips around the stretchers. The seat is decorated with a yellow glaze in imitation of caning as is the decorative carved design on the splat, but the bottoms of the seat and legs are unglazed. The rail ends splay to the right and left for hand comfort and decorative effect are traditionally found in Ming Dynasty hardwood chairs. In very good condition with minor chips and paint losses, it was buried underground in a tomb for centuries. This would be a fine addition to a collection of antique ceramics or simply a beautiful decorative piece to brighten a small space.

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.
