This superb late 19th century ivory carving of Guan-Yin (Goddess of Mercy) is 11” high (with wood base it is 12 ¾” high), 2 ½” wide and 2” thick. The fitted carved hard wood base has four small ivory knob shaped pieces set in the corners. Her right hand is holding a lotus blossom with tassel and is resting in front of her. Her left hand is raised up, holding her hair. The statue has a rich patina. Aside from a few hair line cracks due to age, the Guan-Yin statue is in excellent condition.
