Masterfully carved into high clarity quartz crystal, this work of art features Quan Yin holding a willow branch and a mudra of patience. The willow branch, which Quan Yin is typically depicted holding, is a symbol of flexible yet unbreakable strength. The carving is seated securely in a rosewood base that was built specifically for this piece. 

Quan Yin, also spelled Kuan Yin or Guan Yin, is the bodhisattva of great compassion. She is the feminine version of the masculine Avalokiteshvara. Quan Yin, one of the most popular deities of Buddhist iconography, is a figure of mercy and compassion who helps those in need.
