The standing bodhisattva with hands as holding a vase, on a base buffeted with waves, wearing a layered robe draped over softly rounded shoulders and opening at the chest to reveal a beaded necklace, the face with a benevolent and peaceful expression flanked by pendulous earlobes, the hair drawn up to a high chignon and covered by a cowl. Qing Dynasty period.

夾紵，亦稱“夾紓”、“挾紵”。即先用泥塑成胎，後用漆把麻布貼在泥胎外面。待漆干後，反覆再涂多次。最後把泥胎取空，因此又有“脫空像”之稱。
此尊夾紵觀世音菩薩立於浪花翻捲的荷花座上，身軀輕盈靈動，似踏浪而來。手在胸前，一上一下，猶如說法印，神情莊嚴恬靜，面容和藹慈祥、頭梳高髻、含眸下視、彷彿正觀照著芸芸眾生。造型優雅，莊嚴慈祥。夾紵工藝製作過程複雜，所制器物不但柔和逼真，而且質地很輕，但不易保存。此像保存完好，工藝精細，觀音塑造栩栩如生，實屬難得。
