Chinese antique ceramic sculpture of Guanyin standing in a rocky grotto. Symbolic of a sacred space, the rocks are highly three dimensional and the sculpture has a front and back. Guanyin stands with each foot on a lotus emerging from flowing water. She holds a long strand of prayer beads and is surrounded by a yellow nimbus. On the reverse side, a deer and two monkeys balance on rocky outcrops. Their brown and yellow glaze stands out against the green of the grotto
