A Chinese carved ivory 'Guanyin' vase

The flattened vase is carved with a lotus spray and is decorated with two loose-ring handles. From the mouth of the vase sprouts a Guanyin seated in dhyanasana on a single lotus base wearing openwork celestial scarves, accompanied by an acolyte with each foot on a double lotus base. The vase is supported by scrolling ruyi-shaped clouds with two phoenix in flight.
