Guanyin (Guan Yin, Kwan yin, Kuan Yin), statue, approximate height: 160 cm, width: 96 cm , depth: 65 cm

The life-size, polychrome, wooden statue is sitting on a rock in Buddhist posture with right leg resting horizontally on the left knee. The left hand is raised in a gesture – the right hand holding a lotus blossom bud. The figure is elegantly dressed in a kind of an open tunica with a long belt.

The statue had a restoration in March 2009, by Conservator Svein A Wiik. For further information about the motive, technique, conservation condition, conservation treatment and conservation result, please see the restoration description , available here.

The statue is claimed to be from the Ming dynasty, and to be acquired from the Wanås Castle in Sweden.  This has unfortunately not been verified. The current owner got the possession of the statue as a pledge, and little information followed the object.

The current location is in Oslo, Norway with DHL Excel Fine Art. There is a 3D model below, that gives a good impression. Higher resolution models are available at request.
