The ivory with a beautiful and intense patina, finely engraved, the Guanyin seated on a crouched elephant simulating a throne, the robes elegantly draped over the body, one leg bent and the other elongated, the right hand in Shuni mudra (is the mudra that represents patience: the middle finger indicates the constancy in reaching one's goals, while the thumb symbolizes metaphorically the nature and the divine ) and the left hand holding a scepter. Hair gathered in a high bun, the face with a serene expression.
