This collection distinguishes two attributes: a strand of prayer beads and a single jewel. A Guan Yin holding a jewel may be described as Baozhu; that name should not be used to relabel a prayer-bead strand. Each subject gives the hands a different shape and focus.
For a Kuan Yin with beads, notice how the strand sits against the fingers or robes. With a single jewel, look at the way the hands cradle or support it. Posture, material and measured size remain separate choices. To compare another held attribute, explore Quan Yin statues with a vase. Individual listings identify the form and options actually offered.
The current Baozhu and Jingping product page includes both jewel-holding and vase-holding versions. Choose the Jewel — Baozhu style for the subject shown in this collection.

A round jewel rests in the palms of Baozhu Guanyin; the Jingping form holds a slender vase instead. Both wear white glazed robes traced with gold-colored lines and sit on a lotus with pink-tipped petals. Made in Dehua, these painted ceramic figures are offered in the three combinations shown below.
A loop of prayer beads hangs between Guanyin’s hands, following the long folds of her robes down toward a double lotus pedestal. The golden boxwood and gently lowered gaze give this standing figure an intimate presence. Five heights let you find the right scale for your own space.
With her hands resting in her lap, Jingsi Guanyin holds a sculpted strand of prayer beads above softly folded robes. The broad seated figure has a slight smile and lowered eyes. Choose the glossy white porcelain finish or muted teal robes with a cream-white face and hands.
The oval strand of beads rests against a long, unbroken sweep of white porcelain. Nianzhu Guanyin stands 45.5 cm (17.9 in) tall, with lowered eyes and a robe that widens gently at the feet. The slender silhouette suits a home shrine or a cabinet where the figure can be seen from several sides.
