About the Item

The image displays a statue of Guanyin, also known as Avalokiteshvara, a widely worshiped bodhisattva of compassion in Buddhism. It was made of camphor wood which has long history in Chinese sculpture carving due to its pest resistant properties and cultural significance. Historically, Guanyin was initially depicted as male in Indian Buddhism, but since the 12th century, representations have increasingly depicted her as female in East Asia becoming one of the most popular deities there. Guanyin is revered as the bodhisattva of compassion, embodying mercy, kindness, and love, and is believed to protect and save all beings. The Left Hand of the Guan Yin is removable. Please check the detailed photos. Size: 19in H x 9in W x 6.5in D Origin: China Circa: 1900 - 1920 Material: Camphor wood Condition: Original condition, hand carved, hand painted, normal age wear.
