Wordless Wednesday - Mysterious Lady

I was out photo hunting last Saturday when I came across this lovely statuette. I snapped a couple of pics despite having no idea who she might be or what she may represent, and decided I would share her with you. I love this type of statuary. She appears so peaceful.

Happy Wordless Wednesday! And Thank You For Stopping By!

Bridget -> I believe she is ceramic. I should have checked her out more closely, but it was one of those snap, and go moments.

That is interesting. I wonder if it's Chinese...Japanese...Korean, etc.

The hairstyle seems a little out of place a little. Could just be me.

Like a few others, I wonder if her creator or influence is oriental. She is truly beautiful, and as you say, very peaceful!

She looks like Kwan Yin, a Chinese diety, who is considered a Buddha of Compassion. The Wikipedia page about her can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_Yin
