Beautiful Kwan Yin statue made of "blanc de Chine" porcelain

Kwan Yin is an important figure in Buddhism and Taoist philosophy and is often depicted as a goddess of compassion and mercy. Kwan Yin images are associated with compassion, protection and spiritual enlightenment. The statues can be used as a focal point for meditation and prayer, and are often revered as a symbol of spiritual refinement and virtue. Kwan Yin is also called Guanyin, Quan Yin or Kuan Yin. This is an image with many refined details. The bottle she holds in her hand symbolizes a nectar of life. With the chain around her neck she asks Buddhas for help. The ball often depicted between the fingers of Kwan Yin's hand is known as the 'pearl of enlightenment' or the 'pearl of wisdom'. It symbolizes the enlightenment or insight that Kwan Yin has achieved and also her willingness to share this insight with others. It can also represent Kwan Yin's ability to absorb the concerns of others and help them solve their own problems. The ball can also be seen as a metaphor for the moon, which in many cultures is associated with feminine energy and mysticism.

The statue is in good condition. It is still an "older", hollow on the inside and with a stamp on the back. The more recent ones are less refined and solid and flat in appearance.
