18thC/earlier Chinese Crystal Quanyin. Finely carved, with a beautiful face. I am dating it to t18thC or earlier, but my instincts tell me it is likely earlier-possibly by several hundred years. The base is custom-made and is attached through the interesting use of a system that uses flattened lead pellets. The actual crystal figure is 8.5 inches tall, on the attached base the total height is 10.25 inches. A few small inclusions can be found, but overall this is a clear piece of quartz, with a slightly yellow hue. No repair or significant damage- some tiny chipping as seen in the photos.
