Summary
| Description |
Guanyin, overwhelmed by the cries of the faithful, split her head open and grew ten extra faces, to better hear the cries, and this statue depicts Guanyin with eleven faces. There are many different variations on Guanyin's presentation, and the Eleven-Faced Guanyin is often my favorite, especially since the layout of the eleven faces can vary widely between statues. This particular example has the ten extra faces in a linear layout, something done often on Korean Guanyin statues but never done on Chinese and Japanese ones. |
