Courtesan. Carved tiger's eye. China, 20th century. Female figure made of tiger's eye (quartz, limonite and riebeckite, with a cat's eye or chatoyancy effect) showing a young lady, with a cloth floating over her shoulders and a flowering branch in one of her hands, and in a graceful attitude that would make one think of a dancing courtesan. It is possible that it represents Guanyin, the name given in China to Avalokitesvara bdhisattva venerated in Buddhism.
