Real GENUINE tibetan/chinese buddha statue Kwan yin

Made from copper

I got this at drepung monastery in lhasa tibet about 20 years ago but I believe its about 40 years old

It has been blessed in tibetan consecration rites

For protection of the physical and mental well being and good fortune in wealth

The consecration ceremony first purifies an image in order to make it suitable for habitation by the Buddha or other deity involved. Then it invests the statue with the power and presence of that deity. Unless it has been consecrated, a statue is not considered suitable for use in religious practices.

Kwan Yin (kwan jɪn ) noun. a female Chinese Bodhisattva of compassion, regarded as the protector of women and children and patron of sailors.
