Kannon, the Japanese Bodhisattva of Mercy and Compassion, her right hand is holding the celestial scarf swirling
around her figure, and left hand upraised to hold a vase of nectar, she wears a hair clip over a high bun in concentric
patterns, with a flame-like aureole framing her youthful features, in a courtly countenance she stands breezily, and
arching lightly toward her back; her robes is densely textured, suggesting the flow of raindrops falling and covering
her feet. The carving is poising a tinge of contemporary aesthetics in a classically proportioned figure. It is well
preserved and cherished for use in home decor or spiritual practice.
