Potalaka Guanyin
A carved wooden figure of seated Guanyin, one knee raised with an arm resting on it, wearing a beaded necklace, layered scarves and a tall coiled crown. Traces of red paint remain on the drapery and jewelry, and the figure sits on a rough, rocky base.
Look closer: Small red paint traces remain on the left sleeve and drapery.
