Comparison of Two Chinese Guanyin Sculptures
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The purpose of this report is to compare two wooden sculptures of Guanyin, both from the Song Dynasty in the mid-tenth through late thirteenth century CE era in China. The first is a monumental rendition of this image that is in the Eugene Fuller Collection of the Seattle Art Museum. The second is found in the Sackler Museum at Harvard University. The Fuller Guanyin is a wood and polychrome sculpture that stands 162.56 centimeters tall. Large scale wooden sculptures dating to the Song period were commonly found in northern China and less frequently so in the south (Washington.edu, 1). This particular sculpture depicts the female apparition of Guanyin in a traditional seated posture on a bench or plinth of stone.
