This exquisite hand-carved Chinese sculpture depicts Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, intricately rendered in natural banded agate. The figure is elegantly framed within the untouched outer shell of the stone, creating a stunning contrast between the raw and polished surfaces. Rich tonal gradients of milky white, gray-blue, and translucent caramel enhance the natural beauty of the agate and the serene expression of the figure.
Presented on a highly detailed, naturalistic hardwood base—custom carved to resemble gnarled roots or a mountain landscape—this piece showcases traditional craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism. A striking addition to any collection of Asian art, mineral specimens, or spiritual decor.
