This antique is a beautiful old Kwan-yin head carved with elm wood collected from Shanxi province China.Kwan Yin is Goddess of the Compassion and Mercy. For centuries, Kuan Yin has epitomized the great ideal of Mahayana Buddhism in her role as Bodhisattva (Chinese is p'u-sa)--literally is a being of Bodhi,or enlightenment,who is destined to become a Buddha but has foregone the bliss of Nirvana with a vow to save all children of God.Beautiful pieces of of art and inspiration.Although passed many years,the colours in the surface had partially brushed off .But still it can be say as a masterpiece in chinese wood carvings.This is truly a magnificent piece: the wood is lovely, and the appearance is outrageously beautiful.It's sure to make an impression where ever you choose to place it. Please compare this statue to others that are being offered on the rest of the web. I am confident that you will find this one unsurpassed in beauty, workmanship, and value.
