Water & Moon Quan Yin Dream Catcher with Wooden Bead Charm - Cast Bronze Statue Figurine;

This is a Top Collection figurine of Guan Yin - Bodhisattva of compassion and mercy and protector of women. Highly respected and bears different versions of the name in Asian cultures such as Kwun Yum in Hong Kong and Quan Am in Vietnam. This Tang Dynasty depiction of Guan Yin in the Royal Ease pose with the crescent moon in the back was made popular from a folk legend where she saved an entire village from disaster. On the front and back of the moon are partial engravings of the Heart Sutra, which is the best known and most popular of Buddhist scriptures. Measuring at 6 inches tall, the figurine comes with golden metal chain and quality oriental wooden-bead charm that extends the length of this dream catcher to 11.75 inches long. Dream catchers are meant to protect us when we sleep by catching bad dreams and passing the good dreams down to us through hanging charms. Hang this in the bedroom to receive protection from Guan Yin.
