The four agonized creatures struggling to hold calm Guanyin on their shoulders is a Tantric symbol of triumph of Buddhism over ignorance.

Although wood carvings usually portray her clothed in red, this finely carved version is covered in a lacquer coat that darkens naturally over time and darkens even more when honored on a home altar with daily prayers and offerings of smoky candles and burning incense.
