Summary

Description

Two more Guanyin statues, out of hundreds more. While every Guanyin statue here is unique, each one follows one of several predetermined themes.

The right one is the Eleven-Faced Guanyin. Loving the stacked layout of the extra faces.

Legends talk of Guanyin splitting her head open to grow the extra faces, when she is overwhelmed with the world's cries for help.

Both statues are topless, and in fact, every Eleven-Faced Guanyin here is baring her left breast.
