Huge hand painted statue of Chinese Goddess Guanyin, the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, accompanied by her assistants, the young boy Chancaï and the young girl Longnü in a floral decoration. 27" height x 17" length. Beautiful details and colors throughout the statue. It is so huge that it will be noticed right away when walking into the room.
Great condition. Last 2 pictures show minor flaws in the statue, wear of paint on top of her head which could easily be touched up and little chip at end of one of the green seaweed right under the pink petal near the bottom of the statue which is not noticeable unless you bend down and look for it.
