Guanyin with a Child
The pure white of blanc de Chine is perfect for depicting this so-called ‘Guanyin in white robes.’ This manner of portraying Guanyin originated in China in the 10th century, when Guanyin was transformed from a male into a female divinity. The colour white stands for her purity and mercy.
