The elegant strength and beauty of this Buddhist Bodhisattva is
powerful and
serene. This is in excellent condition for its age- with only a
few very small scratches that do not diminish the
value or aesthetics of the sculpture in any way. 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.
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.
The long ears represent her ability to hear the cries of all beings.
She will answer the prayers of anyone who seeks her help and
tales of her miracles abound in China and Tibet. The Dalai Lama
is considered to be the current incarnation of this spiritual
being.
