Large and graceful Japanese or Chinese Quanyin covered with beautiful champleve work. This is a very difficult technique to do on the rounded surfaces of a three dimensional figure. This is an authentic antique one- probably late 19th/early 20thC. Quite heavy for its size. Unlike cloisonné, in which the walls are built up to create cells in which to put the enamel, the cells are actually carved in to the metal. Large figures of this type always have imperfections in the champlevé due to the complexities of the process. Impressive at 17.75 inches tall.
