Guanyin from Southeast Asia, 20th century.Coral.Wooden base.Weight: 792 gr (with base).Measurements: 23 x 8 x 4 (without base); 28 x 14.5 x 9.5 cm (with base).From the physical and formal characteristics of the Guanyin we are dealing with, we can say that we are dealing with a figure of the Southeast Asian school, probably Thai. It is a piece of meticulous work, attentive to detail, especially in the attributes of the goddess. Also known as bodhisattva of compassion, Guanyin is venerated by the Buddhists of East Asia. As a result of syncretism, it is commonly accepted that her figure is the female counterpart of Avalokitesvara, Hindu bodhisattva of compassion. The first Buddhist monk who referred to Guanyin in feminine form was Kumarajiva, when translating the Lotus Sutra into Chinese in 406 AD. With the introduction of Vajrayana Buddhism in China during the Tang dynasty, in the 8th century, the representation of Avalokitesvara as a beautiful female figure dressed in white grew in popularity. In popular devotion, Guanyin rescues those who turn to her in times of difficulty, especially in the face of dangers produced by water, fire or weapons. As a Merciful Mother, she also responds to the requests of those who wish to have children, which is why she is usually represented accompanied by a child. The iconography of Guanyin is rich and varied, and includes various symbolic elements alluding to different concepts.
