All the imperfections, cracks and flaws have added to the CHARM AND INTEGRITY of thisbeautiful goddess .... I was told by the dealer that this statue is at least400 years old , if not older .. came from a temple in china ... this statuewas shipped to united states during the time when it was still legal to moveOLD ANTIQUES such as this one through customs ... this is NOT possible now .The antique dealer moved back to china due to health reasons , i purchasedthis statue among many other stunning old museum pieces of art and BRONZEsets of very old buddhas ... i was excited because i was in the midst ofpossibly designing a hotel ... unfortunately , that did not realize ... thisstatue is WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET - A REAL GEM !! A PIECE OF HISTORY !!I do not think you will find another quan yin buddha with this face ,serenity and calmness . Model standing is 6 ft tall .. just to show you the scale and grandeur of this beautiful quan yin statue ... she is HUGE AND GRAND !!I LOVE THIS GODDESS ... SO MUCH , I WILL NOT PART WITH HER UNLESS THE OFFERMEETS MY REQUIREMENT ... THE BUYER MUST GIVE HER A HOME THAT SHE DESERVES ,SHOW HER OFF , ADMIRE HER BEAUTY , RESPECT HER , LOVE HER AS MUCH AS I DO .Thanks so much for all the compliments and enquiries i have gotten since the listing of my GODDESS ,she is a true beauty , and i hate to let her go ... but i think she deserves to be admired and placed in a home with the right setting ... Yes , she is EXTREMELY HEAVY , took about 4 - 5 people to carry her ... Yes , i haveenquired about touching her up a bit , but the EXPERT who only deals with museum fine arts and sculptures ( from the MOMA ) REFUSED TO TOUCH A STITCH ON THE QUAN YIN GODDESS - SHE IS PERFECT AS THE WAY SHE IS , ALONG WITH ALL THE CRACKS AND THE FLAWS .... BRINGING DEPTH , INTEGRITY ,BEAUTY .... AND PERFECTION ! Without the visible flaws , the goddess will NOT be the same ... and will loose the charm and texture that make this statue SO CHARISMATIC, ALLURING AND BEAUTIFUL !
