Description
A rare and significant Pisé mother-and-child figure with substantial traces of polychromy. A few minor imperfections are visible. 17th-century China. Dimensions: 118/43 cm. French private collection. Such figures, whose iconography is clearly associated with fertility, are found in major Chinese shrines such as the famous Fenyang Taifu in Shanxi.Although their origins may lie in popular cults, these sculptures are generally associated with Guanyin in Buddhist circles and with Songzi Niangniang in Taoist contexts.
