Standing Quan Yin Statue, Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory)

This beautiful Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory) Statue depicts a standing Quan Yin (or Kwan-yin, Goddess of Mercy and Compassion) with folded hands and wearing flowing robes. Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory) is sourced from the tagua palm tree, which produces a nut containing white fluids, similar to a coconut. Once the fruit ripens, the white material hardens and looks like elephant tusk materiel. PalmIvory has relaxing effects, a principle that has been conceded down through the millennium. It is a smooth “stone” with a structure that feels enjoyable in the hands. By simply rubbing such carvings between your forefinger and thumb, you can sense the soothing effect within your body.

The statue is approximately 7.75" wide and weighs 246 grams.
