Seated Guanyin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Seated Guanyin by an unknown artist is a statue of a figure sitting cross-legged on a base. The figure wears a tall, pointed crown on their head. Their face has a serene expression with a slight smile. They wear a necklace and a draped robe. One hand rests on a knee, while the other hand appears to support a round object on their lap. The statue appears to be made of dark gray material, possibly metal or stone.
