Guanyin has been carried this way for centuries, close to the chest and close to hand.
Material: 24K Gold
Weight: 27.29g
Craft: Deep relief carving on a tag-shaped plaque
Cord: Comes with a black cord and gold bead accent.
The figure is worked in high relief against a plain rectangular field, her form rounded out from the gold rather than added onto it. Guanyin is known as the bodhisattva of compassion, invoked less for wealth or luck than for protection and mercy. The tag shape keeps her contained and portable, meant to be worn rather than displayed.
Part of the Antique Gold Collection.
Some figures are carried, not just worn.
