Standing Guanyin
In the 9th century the style of Chinese Buddhist sculpture changed radically. The body was, figuratively, set in motion; not in an extreme way as in India, but rather in a subtle dancing pose. The arms and attributes of this statuette are missing, making it uncertain which Buddhist deity is represented here. However, the hairstyle and clothing indicate that it is a bodhisattva.
