The figure is crafted from gilt bronze and enhanced with polychrome painted accents. Guanyin stands on a double-lotus pedestal atop a tiered, square base decorated with guardian lions and lotus petal motifs. The bodhisattva is depicted with multiple heads arranged in a tiered crown and numerous arms radiating outward, with the central hands clasped in prayer (anjali mudra). The figure is adorned with a green painted dhoti, red flowing ribbons, and a large, intricate mandorla (aureole) featuring a flame border and a red-painted inner ring. The reverse of the mandorla shows a hollowed section containing a small, seated gilt figure. The base bears a cast, four-character Qianlong seal mark. This is a highly decorative and spiritual piece.
