Excuse me, what is this Guanyin statue? What is the material and age? Old things or new things? thank you

From the outside, it is rosewood, and the best rosewood is in India, which is a very rare thing.

It's just a flocculent Tan Guanyin, probably a work in the late Ming Dynasty. Rosewood is polished with soft cloth, which is shiny, and the more polished, the newer it is. According to your photos on the Internet, it is Guanyin worshiped in a Buddhist temple of a big family. This material is rare. Very precious, it is difficult to become a useful material. Like Guanyin mentioned above, it needs a 20 cm log carving, while Zibai is.

This Guanyin statue, with clear lines, good-natured eyes and affability, is a masterpiece. It is difficult to make purple flowers at present. The raw materials are basically extinct. Other wood is even more difficult to make. Because purple flowers are not embellished, they are the original color.
