This statue is absolutely gorgeous in person. She has received many compliments from visitors and is a showpiece in our living room. Kwan Yin is my favorite Buddhist deity and we have many figures of her around the house but this one is probably my favorite. She's just so unique and special compared to other  Kwan Yin statues out there. The only downside is it's a little wobbly where the stem screws into the base, but as long as your not moving her around too much it shouldn't be an issue. We could probably fix it easily enough by adding some thread putty. I definitely feel she's worth the money and can easily overlook the minor issue with the stem. Also of note is the figure is made of resin, not wood, but it does have the appearance of real wood. I really love this piece and highly recommend it, especially if you have a soft spot for Kwan Yin.
