Unique museum quality beaded bronze statue of Guan Yin ? also
known as Kuan Yin
and Quon Yin in China, Chenrezig and Tara in Tibet; Kanzeon in
Japan and Avalokitesvara in Sanscrit.

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 is the Buddhist Bodhisattva of compassion and loving
kindness. She holds a sacred
vase containing the nectar of compassion and wisdom, the
healing water of life. She carries a willow branch - symbolizing
her willingness to spread the tools of enlightenment to all
sentient beings. Kwan Yin is the one who hears all that call her
name- tales of her miracles abound in China
and Tibet.

The intricacy and details of this unusual bronze
reflect the artistry and skill the religious art of the Dunhuang
area is known for.
