Guanyin Statue In Chinese Porcelain Bronze Base - Chinoiserie Decor / Chinese Cabinet

Guanyin statue in Chinese porcelain, mounted on a gilded bronze base. China, late 19th, early 20th century. Considered in the West as the goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin is a Buddhist deity, symbolizing the unlimited compassion of the bodhisattva for all beings - human and non-human. She is most often depicted draped in a long white dress which covers her from head to toe; wearing a bun; her skin is as white as milk. In meditation, she rests on Lotus leaves.
