About the Item

This Chinese ceramic bust of Kwan Yin (Guanyin), the revered bodhisattva of compassion in Buddhist tradition, is a beautifully crafted representation of spiritual serenity and grace. The bust captures the essence of Kwan Yin's compassionate and tranquil nature, as reflected in her serene facial expression, which exudes a sense of calm and benevolence. The figure's hair is meticulously styled into a tall bun, a traditional hairstyle that signifies her spiritual dignity and purity. This attention to detail in the hair styling adds to the overall elegance and reverence of the depiction. Mounted on a solid hardwood stand, the bust is given a sturdy and dignified base that complements its spiritual significance. The hardwood stand not only enhances the display of the bust but also adds to its aesthetic appeal, creating a harmonious balance between the ceramic figure and the natural beauty of the wood. This ceramic bust of Kwan Yin is a symbol of compassion and mercy, making it a meaningful addition to any space seeking a touch of tranquility and spiritual inspiration. The craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating this bust reflect the deep respect and admiration for Kwan Yin in Chinese culture and Buddhist art. circa: mid-20th Century
