A late Ming, 17th century dry lacquer and gilt Guanyin seated in Dhyanasana Mudra. The deity wearing a pointed diadem carved in relief with lotus flowers, the features of the god quietly in repose and flanked by the pendulous ears. The figure wearing long robes and holding a peach of immortality in his hands, seated cross legged on a raised dais.
This was most likely a temple Guanyin and is crafted from a single piece of wood with layers of black lacquer and remnants of gold, red and yellow still visible. The age of the piece can be well seen on the base where the central section has begun to petrify.
