Jade Pendant Of Quan Yin Bust, Hand Carved, Chinese.

Jade Pendant Of Quan Yin Bust, Hand Carved, Chinese.

In China, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is represented in female form and is known as Kuan Yin. Probably because of Kuan Yin's great compassion, a quality which is traditionally considered feminine, most of the bodhisattvas' statues in China since the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618 - 907) have appeared as female figures. In India, however, the bodhisattva is generally represented as a male figure.

Translated into Chinese, the name is "Kuan Shih Yin" or Quan Yin.
