The praying child at her side symbolizes Guanyin’s benevolence toward children and her promise of spiritual protection for the faithful.
The goddess rests on a fixed base shaped like waves and lotus leaves, symbolizing the connection between the deity and nature, enhancing the aura of tranquility emanating from the piece. This fine porcelain work showcases the ancestral craftsmanship and modeling and firing techniques unique to Asia, particularly China, where this type of sculpture originates.
