We have several Guan Yin/Kwan Yin statues and paintings, but this is by far the most dramatic and stunning. Definitely deserves a showcase siting for display.

Do pay attention to the dimensions, especially height. Due to the beautifully curved crescent moon upon which the Guan Yin sits, this is VERY tall so it really needs about 26" in display height to show at its best.

Although 'wood finished' it is a touch plastic-y in appearance close up. But the gracefulness of the pose and the elegant overall design more than compensate for the slight negative of its surface finish. The color is a warm golden tan and very pleasing with almost any decor colors.

The base is nicely weighted so no fears it will fall over. Construction could be a little "tighter" but this is not something that people are going to handle so I think it will be fine. We have ordered a dramatic silk orchid plant to sit beside this; they should be beautiful together!
