Indeed, the Guanyin is often depicted seated in the lotus position on top of a lotus flower. However, as Pan's idol is Michelangelo, he tends to make sculpture of people with flowing robes, and this rendition of the Guanyin is more like a Christian saint.
Religions, after all, borrow from one another. Both Buddha and Christ came from virgin births. We have also recently seen painting from a Tibetan artist who put halos around the heads of the figures in his paintings.
Although Pan He's sculptures were originally Red, he later changed to subtle social commentary, and more recently has done sculptures of the Chinese minorities, in another type of social commentrary. He has done a Buddha and several Guanyin's in different media. The original large model of this one is high on a hill top in a temple, in Shanxi Province, in the north. This sculpture of the Guanyin is rather unique in his repertoire of works.
