A seated Guan Yin can be upright and composed, or more relaxed in the arrangement of the legs and body. This collection is organized by posture, leaving room for different subjects, materials and sizes. A lotus seat is one possible support; it does not define every seated statue.
For a home altar, consider the eye level at which you will see the face and the depth occupied by the base. The material and actual dimensions of each Kuan Yin are given with the piece. Water Moon Guanyin is a particular subject within the wider world of seated figures, while standing Quan Yin statues offer a different relationship to the surrounding space.
