Chinese framed porcelain Buddhist temple plaque, Kuan Yin with Buddhist symbols, seated on a finely detailed, lotus throne with an ornate mandorla and halo, wearing the crown of Amitabha Buddha, among stylized clouds in the heavens, all in fine, gilt, line drawing on a deep, blue glazed background. Signed, with five seal marks, in original, finely carved, Chinese, heavy hongmu frame with original Chinese bronze hanger.
Kuan Yin's left hand holds the Royal emblem, the Sacred Vase (Chinese: 寶瓶) with the divine nectar of life, symbolizing longevity, abundance and prosperity.
Kuan Yin's right hand holds a willow branch used for sprinkling the divine nectar of life upon the devotees to bless them with physical and spiritual peace. The willow branch is also a symbol of being able to bend (or adapt) but not break.
