White Hetian Jade Plaque: Thousand-Armed Guanyin, 164 g

No. This individual piece has already been collected and remains online as a reference. You can ask Yufu Jade to look for a similar material, form or carving subject; any new piece is documented and quoted separately.

Multiple arms fan around Guanyin above a layered lotus base. A lotus motif occupies the upper panel, with a curved border joining the two parts of this slightly tapering rectangular plaque. The small figure details are useful points for a closer inspection: follow the visible contours rather than judging the work only from the overall silhouette. A gently rotated view helps reveal how the face, clothing or head ornament joins the surrounding surface.

The listed dimensions are 90 x 55 mm, approximately 3.54 x 2.17 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 164 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

The many-armed form of Guanyin represents compassion expressed through countless ways of helping others. The arms are an iconographic convention; a carving need not show a literal thousand to belong to this tradition. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
