Catalogue Note:
This statue of Kuan Yin features the goddess with a lowered head, an elongated face, a full body, and a benevolent expression as she appears to gaze down at the world. Her hair is tied up and decorated with a headdress. She wears a long scarf, and her chest is adorned with a necklace of pearls. Both her arms are covered in clothing, while one leg is exposed and the other concealed. The natural folds in the clothes flow down around Kuan Yin to reveal the posture of her body. On the back of the statue is inscribed Bo Ji Yu Ren (博及漁人). Kuan Yin is one of the common figures depicted in Dehua porcelain work. It is an incarnation of people who envision and long for purity, holiness, beauty, and wellbeing.
