Subject:Chinese ceramic polychrome boddhisatva
Posted By: Guy Sun, Nov 23, 2014 IP: 91.176.195.48 I would like to know more about this seated boddhisatva holding an object with a branch of red coral. |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Nov 25, 2014 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. |

Posted By: Guy Wed, Nov 26, 2014 Thanks Bill. Taiwanese origin is very likely. The piece was bought there around 1970. |
