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.

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.

Masterfully carved, this Nanhai Guanyin sits in lalitsana holding a scroll representing the Lotus Sutra. This finely sensitive provincial carving portrays her as a modest mature compassionate goddess in serene repose, with a delicate face half-closed almond eyes, pursed lips, and full cheeks. Mounted on a frosted acrylic base, it is a wonderful carving to enhance any meditative space.
