Figure of Kwannon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Figure of Kannon by unknown artist depicts a full-body statue of a female figure with a serene expression. The figure wears a long hooded robe with folds visible on the chest and sleeves. Her face is framed by the hood, with eyes cast downward. The figure has her arms crossed at the wrists. The right hand grasps an object. The figure's attire is detailed with a patterned band around the forehead and a necklace. The lower portion of the statue shows the figure's feet. The background of the image is plain. The statue appears to be made of a material such as stone or metal, and there is a ruler at the bottom for scale.
