Circa 1900
Chinese cast iron figure of Guanyin(Chinese God of Mercy), wearing bodhisattva garments and ornaments while seated in a pose of royal ease with one leg pendent.
the smiling face framed by a five-point diadem fronted by a small figure of Amitabha (Emituo-fo) above curling ribbons
his hands in the 'gift-granting' (varada) and meditation (dhyana) gestures
Even the back is so detailed.
Soft & peaceful look with beautiful accessories. The movement of the clothes is smooth and natural (hard to tell she was made of hard metal :)
