Serene and Peaceful, this elegant piece speaks directly to the nature of Guan Yin, the Buddha of Compassion, in all her various views and origins from India and Nepal to Japan. The details are well sculpted and translated into this 'modern' piece, and will quietly fill that niche, or also be a wonderful centerpiece for a minimalist home, or a quiet nook for contemplation. Though not intended for the main shrine of a Buddhist home, she is easily a compliment. Mindful lighting will call out the serenity of this piece. This Guan Yin is not meant only for Buddhist homes, or that of any specific belief system of which she is part, but knowing her origins and backgrounds will allow one to enjoy both the figurine's beauty, and nature. This figurine will bring many years of joy to any home, public, or private setting.
