Antique Brass Guanyin Kwan Yin Goddess Statue China Buddhist 3” Figurine

⸻

Description:

This is an antique brass statue of Guanyin (also known as Kwan Yin or Quan Yin) — the revered Bodhisattva of Compassion in East Asian Buddhism. Standing approximately 3 inches tall, this finely cast figure features traditional draped robes, a serene facial expression, and flowing form. Guanyin is depicted holding a small child or sacred object, a pose associated with compassion and mercy.

Product Details:

• Type: Religious Figurine / Altar Statue

• Depiction: Guanyin (Kwan Yin / Quan Yin)

• Material: Solid Brass

• Height: Approx. 3 inches (as shown in photos)

• Origin: China or East Asia

• Style: Traditional East Asian Buddhist iconography

• Base: Round flat base with lotusstyle detailing

Condition:

Good antique condition with visible patina and wear from age. The surface shows natural tarnishing, darkened areas, and handling marks consistent with age and devotional use. Details remain clear, especially in the facial expression, robe folds, and headpiece. Some light casting imperfections present, typical of handmade brass pieces from the period. Bottom base shows wear but sits flat and stable.

Historical & Cultural Context:

Guanyin is one of the most widely venerated figures in Chinese and East Asian Buddhism. Known as the Goddess of Mercy, she is believed to hear the cries of the world and respond with unconditional compassion. This figure likely originates from late 19th to early 20th century China, during the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic era, when devotional statues were commonly placed in household altars or carried as talismans. The brass casting method, size, and posture suggest it was intended for personal worship or travel.

Why This Piece Stands Out:

• A symbol of peace, protection, and divine compassion

• Authentic antique with rich patina and cultural resonance

• Ideal for Buddhist altar, sacred space, or spiritual décor

• Collectible for those interested in Asian art, religious figures, or miniature bronze/brass sculptures

• Small but powerful – fits easily into any personal collection or meditation area
