A sublime jade carving of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, masterfully sculpted from semi-translucent pale green jade with a natural transition to brown-enhanced by an intricately carved potted plant motif, all presented on an elegant hardwood stand. This exquisite jade sculpture of Guanyin, carved from a semi-translucent pale green jade, embodies the grace, serenity, and divine wisdom associated with the Bodhisattva of Compassion. The figure stands in a pose of tranquil contemplation, her flowing robes cascading in delicate, rhythmic folds, reflecting the refined elegance of traditional Chinese Buddhist sculpture. What sets this piece apart is the natural transition in the jade from pale green to warm brown tones, which the artist has skillfully incorporated into the composition. The brown section of the stone has been transformed into an intricate carving of a potted plant with delicate flowers, seamlessly merging natural material variation with artistic intent. This feature speaks to the high level of craftsmanship required to utilize a single jade block’s natural color variations, demonstrating a deep appreciation for both artistic form and natural beauty. Resting upon a finely carved hardwood stand, this piece achieves a sense of elevation and refinement, reinforcing the sacred presence of Guanyin. The stand’s elegant detailing and smooth finish complement the soft translucency and gentle luminosity of the jade, making it a truly harmonious composition. Condition: Highly polished jade surface, with a smooth, luminous quality. The natural transition from pale green to brown enhances the uniqueness of the carving. Hardwood stand in excellent condition, finely carved to complement the sculpture. Minor age-related wear, adding to its historical authenticity and organic appeal.
