You should pull her out and put her in the sunshine or on a mantel somewhere. Especially during these times.
Kuan Yin is a Boddhisattva, which means she chose to keep one foot on the ground so she would always remember what it was like to be human. She is the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy and is an Ascended Master. Plant people should have her. :)

Yeah, a lladro? Worth some money since they aren't made anymore. I wouldn't want her for money, beautiful statue.

@dire wolf, increase your Vit C and spicy foods. I wish I would have sent out some vinegar now.

Again I have no interest in that aspect of it only financial but thank you very much for pointing it out, best wishes!
Edit: I can't find a Maker's Mark and the other pieces are somewhere put away the value they have to me was they were left to me by my late grandmother whom, I'm now thinking may have been a Buddhist? Very interesting thanks for the info

Please post a picture if you buy her. She needs to be surrounded by flowers. The Diesels love her. They throw out carnation scents when I'm meditating with her.Hey beachwalker , yea , you need to keep grandmas gift and get into it , dont sell that for cash ......

She just brings me so much joy and big happy smiles. I've been talking to her since I was a young clueless 20 year old. Thank you for sharing this.

That statue is Kwan Yin, aka Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, aka the god/goddess of compassion (there was actually a gender change somewhere along the way).
In Japanese it's Kanzeon.
Edited to add a footnote: Deities in Buddhism aren't really worshipped per se, they're more reminders of goals. So god/goddess isn't really the right word, but I don't know of a better one.

For clarity, the username is a reminder for me not to be an asshole. Not as a claim of any sort.
