Now you are observing Exhibit No. 5. There are numerous porcelain statues of the Bodhisattva Guanyin. The central statue presents the Bodhisattva Guanyin with a topknot and crown, a narrow face, and a slender body. The porcelain has a light grey finish, creating a calm and peaceful effect. On the right, there is a shiny, immaculate, and tranquil Guanyin. She holds a vase in her left hand, and mala beads in her right hand, with the beads gently resting upon her knee. The fabric from her robe and head covering flows down effortlessly. Meanwhile, the lower left side of the display has an upbeat and attentive Child-Bearing Guanyin. This vivid depiction of the Bodhisattva Guanyin carries a young boy in her left arm, with the boy holding a lotus petal in his hand. This is a traditional Chinese Buddhist statue.
