Eleven-Headed Guanyin
A standing wooden bodhisattva with traces of red, green and gold paint, wearing a beaded necklace, a draped scarf and a pleated skirt. The tiered crown rises above a serene face, while both arms are broken off below the shoulder and elbow.
Look closer: A small red urna dot marks the forehead between the brows.
