Kannon
Kannon, the Japanese goddess of mercy and compassion, counts among the most venerated figures in Buddhism and is highly respected in Asian cultures. Initially a male figure, it transformed over the centuries to a maternal goddess with wondrous healing powers who bestows solace and luck. As a bodhisattva, Kannon denied herself entrance into nirvana when she heard the laments of the mortals and helpfully returned to Earth. Her name roughly means ‘observer of the cries of the world’.
Condition: The Kannon is in good condition with slight signs of age and use such as gold wear here and there. The height measures 32 cm and the width 34 cm.
