EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Chinese statuette of Kuan-Yin, dating back to the 12th century during the Late Sung dynasty. The statuette portrays Kuan-Yin, a revered goddess of mercy and compassion, in her form as a Bodhisattva - an enlightened being on the path to becoming a Buddha. Crafted from wood with delicate traces of gilt and painting, this exquisite piece is now part of the esteemed collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The image beautifully captures the essence of this ancient artifact against a striking black background. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Chinese religious artistry. The statuette depicts Kuan-Yin sitting in a serene pose, leaning gracefully with one leg elegantly crossed over another. As we delve into its symbolism, we are transported to an era where spirituality played a significant role in people's lives. This wooden deity serves as both an object of devotion for worshippers and as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage. With each glance at this gilded lady, one cannot help but feel drawn into her divine presence. It is through artifacts like these that we can appreciate the profound impact religion has had on shaping societies throughout history.
