This comment concerns only the Chinese Customs seal, or jianding on the statue shown in your photos. Heres' a picture of another, which coincidentally also is on a Chinese wood carving of the goddess Guanyin (as spelled in Mandarin pinyin). The English writing on this seal reads "CUSTOMS PERMISSION", whereas what is written on the one you show seems to be something else. A seal identical to the one I've uploaded here (except for the seal number) is illustrated on the gotheborg.com website as having come into use around 1997. Are you confident that that the customs seal on the statue in your photos was applied in China. If not, you might want to consider whether it and the statue might be fake.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Photo shows Buddha, not Quan Yin.
