This is a museum quality boxwood alter piece of the Buddhist
Bodhisattva Kwan Yin. sitting in the royal ease position, she
pours the nectar of compassiona and wisdom from a holy vase
in her left hand. Her foot rests on a lotus blossom. This
sculpture comes from Dunhuang, China, a rural city at the
remote western end of the Great Wall. Since ancient times,
Dunhuang has been the western hub of commerce and culture
along the Silk Road between India, Tibet and China. Guan Yin,
the divine feminine mainifestation of compassion and loving
kindness, is also known as Kuan Yin in China, Chenrezig and
Tara in Tibet, Kannon and Kanzeon in Japan. This unque carving
is a stunning example of the artistry and skill the Chinese have
developed in the creation of sacred art over the centuries.
