Large Chinese root wood carving of Kwan Yin (Bodhisattva) on top of a mountain

More than 100 years old one of a kind antique Chinese wooden sculpture carved from a single piece of tree stump. It shows Quan Yin Buddha standing atop a rugged mountain while a farmer with his son, daughter and a buffalo look up at Him from the base of the mountain. The intricate carvings show trees, birds, mountain, etc. This unique sculpture is 38" tall, 28" wide, 24" deep at the base and weighs 115 lb. I do not know the exact wood type, but it is very heavy and of very good quality. There are a few small cracks in the wood which I think are not unexpected in such old sculptures, but are not noticeable easily.
