Quan Yin, Goddess of the South Sea

In China Quan Yin has many names and is not only known as "great mercy but also as great pity, salvation from misery, salvation from wretchedness, self-existent, thousand arms and thousand eyes," etc. In addition Quan Yin is often referred to as the Goddess of the Southern Sea or Indian Archipelago and has been compared to the Virgin Mary. 

Quan Yin is one of the Three Great Beings renowned for their power over the animal kingdom and the forces of nature.

Quan Yin is usually depicted as a barefoot, gracious woman dressed in beautiful, white flowing robes with a white hood gracefully draped over the top of her head and carrying a small vase of holy dew (However, in the Lamaistic form, common in bronze from eighteenth-century China and Tibet, she is often entirely naked.) Quan Yin stands tall and slender, a figure of infinite grace, her gently composed features conveying the sublime selflessness and compassion that have made her the favorite of all deities.
