Standing Guanyin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Standing Guanyin statue depicts a human figure with a serene expression. The figure has long hair styled in a topknot. The face is oval-shaped, with a small mouth and nose and closed eyes. The figure wears a flowing robe with folds carved to resemble fabric draping down to the feet. The robe is secured at the waist with a sash. The figure also wears a decorative necklace and a bracelet on the right wrist. The statue appears to be made of weathered stone or wood, with a brownish-gray color. The base of the statue features a decorative design carved into it. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast by the statue.
