Guanyin Sculpture, Quartz Crystal


This is a fine piece of hand-crafted Guanyin sculpture made of solid quartz that was bought from a stallholder inside a large shopping center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, about eleven years ago.

It's a relatively new production and so it's no use trying to estimate the age of this sculpture.

For your information, Guanyin is the Chinese Goddess of Mercy.
