A Dehua seated figure of the Buddha
Late 19th/20th century
Well modeled with an ushnisha emerging from tight snail shell curls above the face cast gently downwards, the robe falling from the left shoulder and gathered at the waist beneath a Buddhist wan symbol on the chest, the arms held in the lap in dhyana mudra above the crossed feet, the figure seated on a four-layered lotus pedestal rising from foaming waves entwined with thick lotus stems and spreading leaves.
14 3/4in (37.5cm) high
