A freestanding devotional sculpture carved from Shoushan stone, with a translucent ivory hue, caramel-coloured veining and gilded details. It depicts the Bodhisattva Guanyin seated serenely on a rocky outcrop, clad in a long robe. She holds a sutra scroll and is flanked by the purifying vase, a messenger parrot holding a rosary in its beak, a Buddhist lion at her feet and an acolyte in the anjali mudra. The reverse bears an incised inscription with two seals. It rests on a bespoke wooden plinth carved with lotus leaves and flowers. Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) or later.
