This amazing sculpture depicts the radiant form of Kwan Yin, the Bodhisattva associated with compassion. Kwan Yin means "Observing the cries of the world". He is sometimes thought to be a woman but is indeed a male Bodhisattva. The sculpture is hand carved from the knotty root of a suar wood tree from Indonesia. The artist must look at the natural shape of the wood and carve the sculpture within the natural bends and turns of the wood. This gives the sculpture an earthy feel that could blend with any meditation room using natural tones.
Kwan Yin wears a long flowing robe while standing on a lotus base with 4 tiers of blooming pedals. In his hands he holds a vase containing pure water representing the divine nectar of life, compassion and wisdom. His crown has the likeness of Amitabha Buddha carved into it. There is a dragon carved into the base of the statue. Kwan Yin is often associated with dragons as told in a story of how he saved one of the dragon kings lives. The amazing carving of the dragon looks to be tearing itself out of the wood in the base with his long tail exposed on the backside of the sculpture.
One can plainly see the color differences in the layers of the wood from the tan outside layer to the outer white wood and the inner darker brown veins. The physical wood used for this sculpture tells its own tale.
This piece is entirely one of a kind. There is only one of this sculpture available and only will be one statue just like this! An amazing statue of Kwan Yin, the Bodhisttva of compassion!

Kwan Yin (also spelled Kuan Yin, Quan Yin or Guan Yin), is known as the Goddess of Compassion, and she is one of the most popular deities in all of Asia. Her name in Chinese roughly translates to "The One Who hears the Cries of the World". Many believe that she is the female representation of Avalokiteshvara, the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Compassion. As a Bodhisattva, she has chosen to put off her complete, unexcelled, perfect enlightenment for the benefit of beings everywhere, and will wait as long as there is one being who is not enlightened.
The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant.
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or [email protected].
