Chinese DeHua porcelain seated Ru Yi Kuan Yin , a finely carved seated Kuan Yin, clothed in flowing robes, tiara and necklace, on a lotus throne atop a Ru Yi bordered plinth, holding a lingzhi headed scepter in her left hand, displaying the Karana mudra with her right hand. Exquisite fine realistic detail through-out, down to Kuan Yin's fingernails. A Chinese Fu character in caoshu script is painted on the back above Chao Zong and DeHua marks. Circa late 19th century, no later than early 20th.
Ru Yi: A ruyi (Chinese: 如意; pinyin: Rúyì; lit. as desired, as you wish) is a Chinese curved decorative object that serves as either a ceremonial scepter in Chinese Buddhism or a talisman symbolizing power and good fortune in Chinese folklore. The "ruyi" image frequently appears as a motif in Asian art. A traditional ruyi has a long S-shaped handle and a head fashioned like a fist, cloud, or lingzhi mushroom.
