EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 10th to 13th century sculpture depicts Guan Yin, the revered Bodhisattva of compassion in Chinese Buddhism. Originating from India, Guan Yin's legend evolved in China, where she became synonymous with mercy, kindness, and motherly love. This wooden sculpture, a masterpiece from the Song period, showcases Guan Yin in an upright, round, and free-standing position. Her serene expression and gentle gaze radiate compassion, while her eleven heads and thousand hands symbolize her ability to hear the cries of all beings and grant them salvation. The statue's intricate details and vibrant colors showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of Chinese art during the Song period. Guan Yin's flowing robes, adorned with intricate patterns, are a testament to the skill and dedication of the artist. The statue's vertical orientation, a common feature in Chinese Buddhist art, emphasizes the spiritual connection between the deity and the viewer. This precious relic now resides in the Guimet Museum in Paris, France, a testament to the global exchange of art and culture throughout history. The Guimet Museum, located in the heart of the City of Light, is a treasure trove of Asian art, housing an extensive collection of sculptures, figures, and artifacts from various parts of Asia. This Guan Yin sculpture is just one of the many masterpieces that invite visitors to explore the rich history, mythology, and spirituality of Eastern Asia.
