White-Robed Guanyin

China

Not on view

The ivory white porcelain of the Dehua kilns of Fujian was well-suited to representing Guanyin, especially in her white‑robed form, and the kiln produced countless sculptures of the bodhisattva to meet the public’s insatiable demand. This is a particularly grand example, befitting a wealthy residence.
