这位衣饰华美的菩萨是观音（即观世音菩萨）的形象，他后来被广泛作为慈悲女神来供奉。这身造像源自山西省北部，可能与五台山地区有关——五台山是古老的佛教朝圣圣地。

This elaborately-robed bodhisattva is an image of Guanyin, or Avalokiteshvara, who became widely worshipped as a goddess of compassion. This figure is from northern Shaanxi province, possibly the Wutai mountains, an ancient holy site of Buddhist pilgrimage.
