Exceptional Chinese Jade sitting Guanyin figure resting on top of a beautiful hand-carved pedestal. Dressed in a traditional diaphanous robe, while clutching a lotus flower. A single figure kneels to the right side of the Guanyin deity in worship. On the left side of the feminine figure is a plume of smoke rising from the ceremonial incense censer. This figure sits in a meditative posture with a tear drop shaped aura as the backdrop. Jadestone shows clean cream-color with beautiful translucent characteristics.
Note:
Jade, as a stone, has five virtues. Its glossiness and warmth is like benevolence. Because inside and outside is the same, so that knowing the outside one knows the inside, this may be likened to righteousness. Its far-reaching sound (when struck) may be heard from afar, like wisdom. It is not easily bent, but can be broken, which may be likened to courage. Jade can be sharpened, but not to the point where it can injure people; this quality is like self-regulation or restraint.
