Guanyin the Bringer of Sons
The statue depicts Guanyin, a female figure with long dark hair styled in an updo, wearing a robe. She sits cross-legged on a base, with her right leg folded under her left. Her right arm supports a small child who sits on her right hip. The statue exhibits a brown patina and appears to be made of wood. The background features a gradient transitioning from dark grey at the top to light grey at the bottom.
