Exquisite Jade carving in the finest of details! Absolutely stunning in carved detail. The quality of the stone is excellent too. Light makes it glow and enhances the beautiful movement of the form on this truly stunning sculpture. She has a beautiful smiling face and holds a Lotus bloom with a seed pod. Besides her stands a crane.

I believe this is a representation of Kwan-Yi, Chinese Goddess of Compassion and the Mother Goddess.

Carving measures 9 1/2″ tall, 6 1/2″ wide approximately overall and 3″ overall in depth. It comes in the original box. This beautiful piece is totally hand carved and is in pristine condition. There are no cracks, chips or fractures at all. I don’t believe it was ever displayed outside of the box. There is no signature I can find. Probably 1950’s.
