Guanyin

Temple of the Jade Emperor, Mt. Tai

The saviour goddess, Guanyin, is recognized by her water bottle, lasso, and seated Amitabha in her crown. The five-character inscription, below, reads Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa ("Guanshiyin Bodhisattva"). Although Guanyin is a Buddhist deity, she easily coexists with the Daoist pantheon. The statue is modern.
