Description
The Moon Sitting Kuan Yin Statue is a contemplative sculptural piece depicting Kuan-Yin (Kannon in Japanese, Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit), the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion, seated on a crescent moon. Made from cold cast bronze, this statue is designed for meditation spaces, home altars, or thoughtful interior display.
In this depiction, she sits poised and attentive upon a crescent moon. The moon traditionally symbolizes enlightenment, reflection, and femininity. Her clothes, jewelry, and the lotus at her feet are all beautifully and subtly colored. The moon features the Heart Sutra, the best known and beloved Mahayana Buddhist sutra. In the Heart Sutra Kuan-Yin looks down from on high and gives Shariputra the heart of wisdom teaching.

I think this is a very creatively rendered design! The one place it could be better rendered, is in her facial features. To me, the expression doesn’t quite capture Kannon’s compassion as one might hope. Though to be sure, this is a slight concern, and not even noticeable, unless you look closely. All in all, still a very pleasing purchase!
This is beautifully detailed and I love it. I would definitely recommend to everyone.
I bought this as a gift for Taylor. It looks beautiful in their amazing garden. Delivery was great and fairly timely. We are both well pleased. Janice
