Kwan Yin Riding a Foo Dog - she holds a text of sacred
teachings and the pearl of wish fullfillment. This bronze
Buddhist icon looks quite old and unique with very
detailed carving.

This was discovered in Dunhuang, China, a rural city at the
remote western end of the Great Wall. Since ancient times,
Dunhuang has been a hub of commerce and culture along the
Silk Road between India, Tibet and China. By the end of the ninth
century there was a statue of Kwan Yin in every Buddhist
monastery in China. She is perhaps the most widely revered
diety in the world. To have a picture or statue of Kwan Yin in
one's home brings good luck and protection to the household.
The artistry of this piece reflects the value the Chinese have
placed on sacred art. It is perfect for any collection or an
excellent gift for anyone interested in China, Buddhism and
meditation.
