Description from the seller

The Goddess of Mercy neatly modeled in fine blanc-de-chine porcelain, seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base with furling petals, a pair of hands held in front of the chest and another on the lap. The other ten hands hold attributes and are fanned to the sides. The figure wears loose flowing robes and an elaborate headdress. The face bears a serene expression with downcast eyes.

Note: She who hears the cry of the world, Guan Yin embodies the archetype of mercy, love and compassion. She inspires higher teachings and shows us that worthy actions are the divine path to liberation from our karmic actions.
