Cleveland Museum of Art

The Bodhisattva Guanyin of the South Sea is a white statue of a woman sitting on a lotus flower. The woman has her eyes closed and her hands clasped in front of her. She wears a crown on her head, and her hair is styled in an updo. She has a serene expression on her face. She wears a long robe with intricate designs and patterns. The robe drapes over her shoulders and around her body. The lotus flower she sits on has large petals that curve outward. The base of the statue features more lotus flowers and foliage. The background of the image is black, with a gradient that fades to gray at the bottom.
