Well modeled Dehua figure of Puxian, a Bodhisattva known as the Lord of the Truth, who represents the practice and meditation of all Buddhas. Although she is often confused with Quanyin (Kuan Yin), she is typically seated on an Indian elephant. Covered with unctuous cream glaze with a subtle brownish tint, the deity wears a large jeweled pectoral with a central flower and holds a lotus sprig in her right hand (symbolizes longevity). Gourd mark and honorific square seal of famous 16th century sculptor He Chaozong (He Zhaozong) in reverse. Old hand painted character "fu" in back meaning wealth and felicity.
