Porcelain statue of Goddess of Mercy

[Porcelain plastic Avalokitesvara Gita]

Porcelain plastic Avalokita Gita Gita, 33 cm high
Guanyin is wearing a bun with a spiral hair, a cloaked cassock, a tassel on the chest, a jade bracelet on the wrist, and sitting on a high seat with bare feet in a half-open sitting posture. She looks demure and dignified. He holds a child in his arms. The child is in a standing position, holding the treasure in his left hand, and holding the palm out of his right hand in the shape of a person (that is, full of wishes). On the right side of Guanyin is decorated with scripture scroll, under which is a red sandalwood carving base (rear). The body material of the porcelain plastic is slightly rough, and the glaze is milky white and slightly bluish. This image is vivid and vivid, and has ingenuity in the treatment of clothes and gestures. Avalokitesvara with the theme of sending a son had already existed in the Northern Song Dynasty and appeared in large numbers in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. “The Lotus Sutra of the Miraculous Dharma – The General Product of Avalokitesvara” says: “If there is a woman, set her desire for a man, worship and support Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and then she will have a man of wisdom and happiness; if she set her desire for a woman, she will have a woman of integrity and beauty.” The image of Avalokitesvara giving birth is from this. From the perspective of the material, glaze color and character characteristics of the statue, it is similar to the works produced by Dehua Kiln during the reign of Kangxi. The figure modeling is close to life, popular with people, and has strong artistic appreciation value.
