Kuan-Yin Statue on Lotus Base in Meditation Pose

Kuan-Yin sits in meditation on the lotus flower in this 7" tall Kuan-Yin Statue that's handpainted in a deep rich red and shimmering gold. Kuan-Yin, the Lord who Regards, is worshipped as the manifestation of the Buddha who is found in Chinese scriptures around the 5th century. Kuan Yin is 'the one who cries for the world,' a personification of the compassion Buddha shows for the downtrodden. She embodies the principle of Yin and is most often sculpted in the form of a young female deity, though legend suggest she can take any form that suits her goal of leading man from his suffering.

This gorgeous statue would be welcome on a desk, shelf or display area. The delicate intricacy of the piece can be seen in the folds of Kuan-Yin's red robe and lotus flower base. It's an oriental home decor accessory that adds the atmosphere of Far East.
