Guan Yin statue sculpt in translucent soft lavender jadeite accented in emerald green.
The lapidary has intricately chiseled this state all around using the natural elements of a single stone. The deity is rising from a lotus base draped in traditional Oriental costume carrying a wine vessel. A censer pot rests on draped platform at her side while plumes of incense cloud upward in representation of the funerary ceremony.
The piece is fully carved on reverse with prunus tree boulder landscape together resting on custom fit wood stand.
