This bust was originally purchased in 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.

The elegant strength and beauty of the face is powerful and
serene. There are some small scratches indicative of its age but
none that diminish the
value or aesthetics of this remarkable bust. Guan Yin, the
Buddhist Bodhisattva of compassion and loving kindness, is also
known as Kuan Yin in China, Chenrezig and Tara in Tibet,
Kannon and Kanzeon in Japan, and Avalokiteshwara in Sanscrit.
