Historical Context & Origin

Material: Cast bronze with traces of original gilt
Period: Late 19th to Early 20th Century

Description
This finely cast bronze sculpture depicts Guanyin (Kwan Yin)—the Bodhisattva of Compassion—seated in serene meditation upon a flowing lotus pedestal. Created in the Thai Buddhist tradition with clear Chinese Guanyin influences, the figure is rendered in a graceful full-length robe with deeply incised detailing and visible remnants of its original gold gilding.

Beside Guanyin stands a small child attendant, a symbolic imagery associated with her protection over mothers, families, and children. Together, the figures form a powerful representation of mercy, spiritual guardianship, and compassionate guidance. The piece retains a warm, naturally aged patina, and includes its original Thai Department of Fine Arts export permit tag confirming its legal export and authentic origin.

The attached Thai government export tag signifies that the sculpture was officially reviewed and documented by the Thai Ministry of Fine Arts, guaranteeing both its authenticity and compliant export under cultural heritage regulations.
