Important statue of Guanyin Pusa in bronze
The deity is shown standing, wearing a dhoti held by a belt around her waist and a long scarf whose folds fall to the ground. She is adorned with an abundance of jewelry, bracelets, earrings, a multi-row necklace and a tiara with floral motifs. The square face looks serene, the eyes half closed, the small mouth sketching a light smile.
