Dear,

My name is Luciana, I'm an appraiser for Mearto and it is a pleasure for me to be able to help you.
Quan Yin (Kuan Yin or Guan Yin) is the bodhisattva of great compassion. A bodhisattva is a human being that has made a vow to dedicate all of their lifetimes to the enlightenment of all humankind. Bodhisattvas continue to reincarnate and return to the world to help guide others to enlightenment.

Luciana M.
