Subject:Guanyin Figure
Posted By: Geoff Fri, Oct 10, 2014 IP: 31.53.134.197

Dear Forum,
Please, could anyone help me to date my Guanyin pottery sculpture?
It has a solid brown, worn pottery base. The left arm of the boy is missing, so are the Godesses left fingers - my wife tells me there is some Chinese superstition that wishes may be granted by removing then replacing Guanyin's left hand!! Or , maybe they were just broken off accidentally. Which seems more plausible to me. Any information is most gratefully received.
Thanks for the help.
