Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion
Not on view
In this vibrantly colored print, Guanyin, at center, is surrounded by figures and iconographical attributes, including a parrot and a willow vase associated with the cult of the Guanyin of the South Sea. Guardian Weituo, with a pointed vajra resting on his wrists, stands behind the bodhisattva. In the lower corners are the boy devotee Shancai and the female disciple Longnü with her father.
