[The “old man” Guanyin seated figure]

The “old man” Guanyin seated figure is 14.6 cm high
Guanyin has a straight nose, a small mouth, a kind eye, and a dignified and elegant style. The clothing pattern is processed according to the shape. It is simple and smooth. The hands, feet, and hair are carved accurately and carefully. It is inlaid with silver silk, and the back is inlaid with “old man” style. The image was originally hidden in the Qing Palace
The “old man” bronze statue is different from the general religious statue because of its superb artistry. The pursuit of the beauty of the work is far beyond the practical requirements of worship, especially the grasp of the charm of the object, which is beyond the reach of ordinary craftsmen. The copper used in the statue is made by repeatedly smelting and removing various impurities, which further enhances the artistic expression of the work.
