Description
Hand carved white marble Guan Yin. Seated in the pose of relaxed pose of rajalilasana, or royal ease, with a raised leg and casually draped arm. In this sculpture, Guan Yin Avalokiteshvara is dressed as an Indian prince in a fluid garment with crossed sashes, scarves, and a necklace on his bare chest. He rests one hand on his knee and the other one holding atop his seat to support sitting up. Showing a confident calmness, presents his mercy over the suffering human beings.
Guanyin in Chinese means “Perceiver of all Sounds,” which refers to the way in which Guanyin is able to hear all prayers and cries for help. In India, bodhisattvas are genderless or are referred to as male. The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, or Guanyin, is often depicted as female in China. One reason for this gender fluidity is due to the way the Bodhisattva has the ability to manifest on earth in many different forms.
Beautiful one of a kind piece. Originally from Vietnam.
