Description
This beautiful Standing Kuan Yin Marble Finish Statue is 12.5″ tall and made from resin with a smooth white marble finish.
Kuan Yin (Kannon in Japanese, Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit), is the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion. Here she stands calm and strong, perched on a lotus flowers and holding a water vase in one hand.
She commonly takes several poses, including “royal ease,” and in the seated, cross-legged “lotus” meditation pose. Additionally, artists often depict Kuan Yin with various mudras, symbolic hand gestures. She also sometimes appears having multiple arms, a call back to the story of the “thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara.” The multitude of arms symbolize her ability to provide assistance and blessings in countless ways.
Through her imagery, Kuan Yin serves as a beacon of inspiration and compassion for countless practitioners worldwide. From the vase to the lotus, every aspect of Kuan Yin is intentional and rich with religious significance. Kuan Yin is a powerful spiritual and aesthetic symbol that has inspired artists across cultures and mediums.
