China, Northern Wei Dynasty period (386-534). Rare and very pretty small Buddhist bronze altar with dark green patina resting on four feet, representing Kwan Yin, the goddess of compassion, seated in "royal rest", leaning against a halo (mandorla) on which a small Amithaba Buddha is seated in meditation posture.
Height: 9.8 cm. The scale indicator in the last photograph is a small model of a lighter from a brand known to everyone.
Good condition except for normal abrasion due to old age, without impact on the beauty of the piece. Floor inlays.
Provenance: private collection of an aesthete residing in the South-West of France.
