I would like to know more about this seated boddhisatva holding an object with a branch of red coral.
I presume the statue must be Chinese, mid 20th century.
It's in the family for around 40 years.

Thanks for your help.

My guess would be early Republic Era (1912-1949), or possibly later if the image was made in Taiwan. Religious figures such as this might have been considered politically incorrect on the Mainland around the mid-20th century.

Best regards,

Thanks Bill. Taiwanese origin is very likely. The piece was bought there around 1970.
