The bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara whose Chinese name is Quan Sei-yin ( or Quan Yin ) means "Observer of World Sound". She is the most beloved Buddhist deity in Japan and China.
Avalokiteshvara was definitely male in India and Java. He was worshipped as one of the bodhisattva in the realm of Amitabha Buddha. The Lotus Sutra lists his thirty-three transformations from male to female; which illustrates the infinity of means of salvation in his great compassion to rescue faithfuls from perils.
This antique wood carving is quite old. The superb artisan style, age cracks and natural color leads us to believe that she was carved in Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), possibly around 18th century.
