Described by von Schroeder (1981, 514) as a “water moon guanyin” and dated to ca. 1400 AD.
Zwalf 1985

The position in which this Avalokiteśvara is seated, a variant form of ‘rājalīlāsana’ (royal ease), was a popular sculptural formula between the 10th and 14th centuries. The earliest datable Chinese Bodhisattva thus seated is a finely cast gilt bronze made under the 10th-century Wu-Yue kingdom in east China, excavated from the Wanfo pagoda, Jinhua, Zhejiang province; its distinctive halo, a plain band with three flaming cusps, quite alien to contemporary Chinese styles, supports the supposition that this iconography was a post-Tang import.

冯·施罗德（von Schroeder, 1981, 514）将其描述为“水月观音”像，年代定为约公元1400年。

兹沃夫（Zwalf）1985年

此尊观世音菩萨的坐姿，是“游戏坐”（rājalīlāsana）的一种变体，为10至14世纪佛教造像中流行的范式。目前已知年代最早、采用此种坐姿的中国菩萨像，是一件精美的十世纪吴越国鎏金铜像，出土于浙江金华万佛塔；其独特的头光——素面圆环饰以三朵火焰纹，与当时中原风格迥异——印证了此种图像学特征为唐以后传入的观点。
