Guanyin wears a crown engraved with the image of Buddha over neatly braided hair, revealing the figure’s ear and neck. With eyes slightly closed, big earlobes, and small mouth, this Guanyin appears elegant and graceful. She is donned in a robe that reveals her chest, and wears an ornate pendant that hangs around her neck. Her right arm is raised chest high, and her right hand is folded in the gesture of lotus. Her left arm is resting at waist level, and her left hand holds a Ruyi scepter. The figure is wearing a dhoti that is tightened around the waist with a ribbon whose streamers curl up on the flood along both sides. The figure is sitting on a lotus seat which is held up by lotus rosettes position on a Xumi style hexagonal stand. Although there are some cracks, this stately white porcelain Guanyin features a magnificent level of craftsmanship that make it one of a kind. On the figure’s back, there is the four-character inscription, “Bo Ji Yu Ren.”
