This impressive ceramic statue depicts Kannon Bosatsu (known in China as Guanyin), the revered Japanese Goddess of Mercy and compassion. She is often shown carrying a water vessel, symbolic of cleansing and renewal. This particular piece, dated to the Shōwa Era (circa 1960), is highly decorative, featuring Kannon standing serenely upon a dynamically sculpted dragon. The figurine showcases detailed craftsmanship, with soft pastel glazes on Kannon’s robes contrasting with the rich, textured glazes of the dragon base. A significant and beautiful piece for any collection of Japanese religious or spiritual artefacts.
