Guanyin is an abreviation of 觀世音 (guan shi yin ‘ observing the cries of the world’). It is the Chinese name for the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, which is her male form. Guanyin is shown here with a basket of fish, refering to her rescue of one of the sons of the Dragon Kings (a magical ruler of the sea). The son of the Dragon King turned himself into a fish. He was caught by a fisherman and thus unable to change back from being a fish into a dragon again. Guanyin saved him from being bought and eaten at a market and returned him to the sea.Porcelain moulded and carved with transparent glazeDehua ware 德化窯Dehua, Fujian province 德化, 福建省Qing dynasty, about AD 1700–1900 PDF 415白釉提籃觀音塑像觀音是觀世音的簡稱，為觀世間音尋聲救苦之意，為觀自在菩薩（Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara）的中譯，是象征慈悲的菩薩，本顯男相。此尊為提籃觀音，魚籃象徵其曾救助過龍王（有法力的海洋統治者）之子。傳說龍王之子化身為魚的時候曾被漁民捕捉，而無法恢復龍身，觀音救了它，從而避免了被人在市場上買賣及食用，並將之放歸大海。瓷器，模塑，雕刻，透明釉德化窯福建省德化清代，約1700-1900年
