White Hetian Jade Plaque: Thousand-Armed Guanyin, 101.3 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.

Thousand-Armed Guanyin sits within a densely patterned rectangular panel beneath a stepped crest. The detailed reverse view shows fine repeating curls around a central inscription. The lettering adds a second kind of detail to the carving. Look for clear separation between strokes and ask for a straight-on close-up if the wording matters to you. An inscription can be decorative or literary; it is not, by itself, evidence of the maker or the date.

The listed dimensions are 79.5 x 58.3 mm, approximately 3.13 x 2.3 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 101.3 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.
