This is a Top Collection statue of Guan Yin - Bodhisattva of compassion and mercy and protector of women. Highly respected and bears different versions of the name in Asian cultures such as Kwun Yum in Hong Kong and Quan Am in Vietnam. It is the cold cast bronze version of our popular marble statue in the same design. She wears a flowing robe and rides on a long flying dragon with her left hand elegantly pointed downwards tipping the Sacred Vase and her right hand in the Vitarka Mudra. The Sacred Vase contains pure water - the divine nectar of life, compassion, and wisdom - with the quality of removing suffering, purifying the defilement of body, speech and mind, and lengthening life. Guan Yin usually uses a willow branch to sprinkle the nectar, but here she is tipping the whole vase upon devotees as a blessing for physical and spiritual peace. Vitarka Mudra is a gesture that represents the transmission Buddhist teachings, and here Guan Yin has the middle finger and thumb touching each other to symbolize great compassion. Measuring at a gorgeous 13 inches tall (a little over a foot) and 10.5 inches in length, this serene representation of Guan Yin displays exquisite craftsmanship. The special production process of this piece, originating from Great Britain, uses actual bronze powder mixed in the cold cast resin to ensure a richer, more life-like presentation. The hand-painted accents further add to the depth and dimension of this piece. This process gives the product a high-quality antique look without sacrificing the details, which is sure to impress visitors. The product is sturdy and fits nicely with any decor at home, office or garden. Use a clear protectant to preserve the color and paint from water and UV damage for outdoor purposes. Move inside when temperatures are extreme. Packed with molded Styrofoam in its own beautiful gift-box, it is ready as a present for any occasion and ideal present for enthusiasts of Eastern deities and East Asian cultures.
