I am enclosing my check for $18. for these, and wish you would set them aside for me. I am leaving on a vacation trip on Monday, and as this package cannot possibly reach here before we leave, I wish you would hold this till after we return, which will be some time the end of August.

There are minimal and simple rigid lines on the headdress and clothes. The abstract design allows the carver to easily hide the Bodhisattva's hands under her long sleeves. The figurine is extremely willowy and austere. This is a revival style of the Guanyin image towards the close of the Ming dynasty with its ethereal, elongated, sinicized style. We seldom find jade carvings of the Guanyin. During the Qing dynasty, the Emperor Kangxi had actually to import an image of this goddess from Tibet. However, during the Qianglong reign, we again find some of the finest carvings of the Guanyin ever executed. In this carving, she is portrayed with the luminous pearl, an attribute borrowed from the Goddess Miao-shen*. It may safely be assumed that the carver is actually rendering a combination of Guanyin and Miao-shen, a not unusual practice of the carvers of the Qing dynasty. * See Getty A.
