Created by an unknown artist, this artifact is a true testament to the rich artistic heritage of China. The Guanyin figure, also known as Avalokiteshvara in Buddhism, represents compassion and mercy. Crafted from gilded copper alloy with intricate detailing, it emanates a sense of divine beauty and grace. The delicate gold gilding adds a touch of opulence to this sacred piece. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian collection gallery, this ancient masterpiece stands as a symbol of cultural significance and craftsmanship. Its vibrant colors and decorative design reflect the artistry prevalent during that era.
