Note
Depicts the bodhisattva Kannon (also known as Avalokitesvera or Guanyin), seated beside a vase with a willow branch and gazing benevolently upon the world. Most of the outlines of the figure - done in gold paint on a blue background - are formed by lines of fine Chinese characters, most likely part of the Lotus Sutra often associated with Kannon.
