History & description
Museum Collection _ Not For Sale
Amidst a sea of flowing fabric, a vision of Guan Yin emerges, serene and graceful. She is draped in traditional attire, a tapestry of delicate hues that cascade like a waterfall around her. Her long silk scarf, as if caught in the gentle breeze, flows behind her like a stream of silk. In her left hand, she holds a round silk fan, a symbol of her unbridled compassion for all. A simple hairpin adorns her hair, a reminder of the simplicity of her ways. As she stands there, poised and peaceful, one cannot help but feel a sense of calm and tranquility in her presence.
The jade material itself is highly prized for its metaphysical properties, and has long been associated with good luck, prosperity, and harmony. As a symbol of purity and serenity, jade has been used in spiritual practices for centuries, believed to enhance inner peace and wisdom, while also promoting physical healing and emotional balance.
