20th Century Chinese Bronze Sculpture Guanyin on Dragon. Modern bronze statue depicting Guanyin with an Eastern dragon wrapped around her feet. Unmarked.

A statue of Guanyin with a dragon wrapped around her feet symbolizes the profound harmony between compassion and power, illustrating Guanyin’s role as both a merciful protector and a commanding spiritual presence. The dragon—traditionally a symbol of strength, transformation, and elemental force in Chinese culture—curled around her feet suggests that even the mightiest natural or cosmic forces are subdued and guided by her compassion. Rather than portraying dominance through violence, this image conveys serene mastery, where Guanyin’s calm presence tames chaos and brings balance. It also reflects her role as a savior in turbulent times, offering protection and guidance to those in peril, particularly across the metaphorical or literal seas of suffering. The dragon's position at her feet emphasizes her grounding in divine authority and her ability to command reverence without aggression, embodying the Buddhist ideal of power through peace.

Size: 5 x 6 x 16 in.
