Description
**Bronze Buddhist Deity Statue - Standing Guanyin Figure**
This is a cast bronze or brass statue depicting Guanyin (Goddess of Mercy) in traditional Chinese Buddhist iconography. The figure stands in a graceful pose on a lotus flower base, wearing flowing robes with intricate decorative patterns and beaded details across the garments. The deity has a serene facial expression with downcast eyes and wears an ornate crown or headdress. The hands are positioned in a mudra (symbolic gesture) holding what appears to be a small vessel or offering.
Based on the measuring rulers visible in the photographs, the statue measures approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) in height and roughly 4-5 inches in width and depth. The bronze has developed a natural patina with some areas showing darker oxidation and greenish verdigris, particularly visible on the back and sides, indicating age and authentic metal composition. The overall condition appears good with fine detail preservation in the facial features, robing, and decorative elements.
The style and craftsmanship suggest this is likely a 20th century piece, possibly mid-century, created in the traditional Chinese Buddhist artistic tradition. No visible maker's marks or signatures are apparent in these images. The quality of casting and detail work indicates this is a substantial decorative or devotional piece rather than a mass-produced tourist item.
**Estimated Value:** $150-400 USD, based on the size, apparent bronze construction, detailed craftsmanship, and collectible market for Buddhist religious art. The value would depend on exact metal composition verification, age confirmation, and regional market demand for such pieces.
