The goddess Guanyin, also known as the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, is venerated as the goddess of mercy and compassion. One of the most popular subjects in Chinese art, early representations portray the deity as male, but by the Qing dynasty, particularly in porcelain, she was depicted as a beautiful female. She is often depicted, as seen on the present figure, holding a willow leaf, the Buddhist symbol of both physical and spiritual healing.
