Consider this object of art in your meditation room. This Bronze finish statue with hand patina Kuan Yin standing on the back of a Chinese Dragon. Its meaning is deep - Kuan Yin is known in the East as the Bodhisattva of compassion. She is the celestial one who "hears the sounds of the world" and rescues people endangered or floundering in perilous situations. She guides the fierce serpent of the deep through tumultuous waves. I see this as a metaphor for the journey of our soul. So not only is it a wonderful eye-catching shape, but so full of meaning. Use one on a table top, or as a gift. This lovely item will not disappoint.
