This vintage stone Quán Yīn head sculpture, hand-carved in mid-20th-century China, captures the Bodhisattva of Compassion in serene repose. Rising 18" high atop a gently flared neckline, the work is rendered from a single block of pale gray schist, its surface streaked with natural veining and soft moss-green lichen that accentuates the figure's tranquil expression. The finely incised hair coils into an elegant topknot, while the stylized lotus tiara and delicately defined eyebrows, eyes, and lips reflect skilled traditional carving techniques.

At 11" wide and 10" deep, the piece has a commanding yet approachable scale"”ideal for display on a pedestal, console, or garden altar. Its weathered patina and subtle surface wear speak to decades of quiet presence, lending authenticity and a sense of timeless grace. Whether used as a focal point in a contemplative space or layered among eclectic décor, this stone Quán YÄ«n head infuses interiors with spiritual resonance and enduring craftsmanship.
