Quan Yin (also spelled Kuan Yin, Kwan Yin or Guan Yin), is known as the Goddess of Compassion, and she is one of the most popular deities in all of Asia. Many believe that she is the female representation of Avalokiteshvara the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Compassion. As a Bodhisattva, she has chosen to put off her complete, unexcelled, perfect enlightenment for the benefit of beings everywhere, and will wait as long as there is one being who is not enlightened. This beautiful porcelain statue is depicted standing on the waves of the ocean. She holds a wish stick cradled in her left arm which grants wishes to her devotees. Her features are long and slender with a gentle smile. There is third eye, urna on her forehead with an Amitabha headdress. http://www.dharmasculpture.com/category/porcelain.html
