Porcelain Kuan Yin statues (also known as Quan Yin and Kwan Yin). Kuan Yin is the Chinese Goddesses of Mercy and Compassion. Her name translates as The One Who Hears the Cries of the World, and she is the Chinese representation of the Boddhisattva Avalokiteswara.
It is believed that a Bodhisattva (or Boddhisatva, as it is sometimes spelled), Kuan Yin was a human who has forsaken the final stage of enlightenment in order to help all earthly beings attain enlightenment first. This image of Kuan Yin shows her standing on the back of a Dragon, which is a symbol of both wisdom and courage, and has been associated with royalty throughout Chinese history. You can fill this statue with water, and turn it back over and water will slowly drip from the vase into the dragons open mouth.
