According to lore, Kwan Yin can manifest in thirty-three different forms to aid sentient beings, underscoring her boundless compassion. The figure and its housing are crafted from aged wood, characterized by a deep patina and traces of original gold lacquer, illustrating the artifact's venerable age and historical significance. The cabinet protects the statue, featuring doors that open to reveal the intricately carved Kwan Yin, emphasizing her serene and benevolent posture.
