Ming Dynasty, 16th century Kwan Yin- The Buddhist Bodhisattva
of Compassion and Wisdom
sits in dhyanasana - the meditative lotus pose.

This museum quality alter piece is exquisite: quite old and
unique in design and
artistry. It was discovered near Dunhuang, China, a key center
for commerce and culture along the Silk Road. Kwan Yin is the
most popular Buddhist
icon in the world - known as Tara or Avalokitesvara in Tibet,
Kannon in Japan, Guan Yin, Kwan Yin or Quon Yin in China and
various other forms in Vietnam, Thailand
and India. Ancient
and modern tales of her miracles abound in China and Tibet. She
has transformed into 33 different deities and will
answer the prayers of all who ask for her assistance. The Dalai
Lama is considered to be the recent incarnation of Kwan Yin.
