Mammoth Ivory Guanyin in Prayer
This figure of Guanyin is rendered with an air of dignified elegance and a slender, graceful physique. The Bodhisattva wears a Buddhist crown adorned with flowing streamers and is clad in loose-fitting robes; the hems of the garments curl naturally, while a knotted sash cinches the waist, allowing the ribbons to flutter gracefully. The folds of the drapery exhibit a dynamic and natural flow. The crown features a miniature image of Amitabha Buddha, the chest is adorned with *Yingluo* (beaded necklaces), and the borders of the robes are embellished with clearly defined, low-relief floral motifs—all executed with meticulous attention to detail. Resting upon a lotus-pod pedestal surrounded by floral elements, the entire piece exudes a distinctively antique charm and refined elegance, possessing a unique aesthetic beauty. Dimensions: Height 29 cm, Base Diameter 7.6 cm, Weight 922 g.
