A carved sopastone figure of Guanyin with a child China, 18th/19th centuries H. 10 cm A finely crafted sculpture in multicoloured soapstone, depicting the seated Guanyin, the Buddhist Gödeity of compassion and mercy, with a child on her lap. The figure depicts Guanyin with a gently smiling face, half-closed eyes and an elaborately pinned-up hairstyle. Her richly decorated, flowing robe features finely engraved floral and ornamental patterns as well as small coloured glass inlays. This iconography is known as Songzi Guanyin (送子觀音), the child-bestowing Guanyin, and symbolises the blessing of children, fertility and family happiness. The sculpture stands on a dark reddish-brown, rock-shaped pedestal made of soapstone. From an old private collection in Berlin - Very slightly chipped
