VINTAGE SATSUMA JAPAN PORCELAIN FIGURINE GODDESS KWANNON HINDU WOMAN SET OF 2

Description

The Bodhisattva or Bosatsu in Japanese / Goddess of Compassion, Mercy and Kindness is considered to be a mother-goddess and patron of seamen. The name Guanyin or Kuan Yim (and many other names like Kwannon, Guanshi’yin, or Kannon also spelt Guan Yim, Kuan Yim, Kwan Im, or Kuan Yin, is a short form for Kuan-shi Yin, meaning "Observing the Sounds (or Cries) of the (human) World".
Guanyin is often shown as a beautiful woman in flowing robes, either alone or with another deity. She was able to turn Yanluointo, a hell-like realm into a paradise. She is the bodhisattva for compassion and mercy. Set hard chores by her father when she refused to marry anyone other than a healer, she was such a good person that the birds and animals began to help her with her chores, somewhat in the same vein as Disney's Snow White.
