Water & Moon Kuan Yin on Crescent Moon (Marble Finish)
Kuan Yin is also known as Guan Yin and Quan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy. Her name means “She who observes all sounds of suffering in the world”. She has vowed to stay with the children of God until everyone achieves enlightenment.
Kuan Yin has been depicted in many forms, some inspired by miracles attributed to her. A Tang Dynasty depiction of Kuan Yin sitting in the Royal Ease pose, backed by a crescent moon, was made popular from a folk legend where she saved an entire village from disaster (Named the Water & Moon Kuan Yin). In Buddhist art, Kuan Yin is sometimes shown with eleven heads and one thousand hands (Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva), a symbol of her aspiration to reach out to any being in any form to help them.
