Don’t buy Guanyin Buddha blindly! Read this article first

What is face opening? It refers to the depiction and shaping of the facial features of characters such as Buddha and Guanyin. If the face is not sculpted well, the price will be at least half. In addition to meeting the aesthetic standards of the character, the character's corresponding expression must also be expressed, and the face must not have any blemishes or discoloration!

The importance of face opening: Buddhists believe that the statue of Guanyin with kind eyes will bring good luck to people. Generally speaking, the face of Guanyin is dignified and solemn. As for Buddha, just smile often. High quality sculptures require extremely detailed facial features. Carving requires not only skilled techniques but also a high level of aesthetics.

Eyes are very important. Eyes are part of the appearance and are of utmost importance. The eyes of Buddha and Guanyin come in many different styles, some are open and some are closed, but no matter which type, they are required to be delicately carved and of uniform size. The jade Guanyin and Buddha on the market all have half-closed eyes, which is the legendary "two-part open, eight-part closed".

Choose face opening standard

Buddha: The face of Maitreya Buddha should be symmetrical on both sides. Whether he is smiling or laughing, the apple muscles should be slightly raised, the philtrum of the nose should be short, and the mouth should be upturned.

Guanyin: Different from the wealthy Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin does not cry, laugh or get angry. She looks dignified, peaceful and kind. The face must be clean, free of blemishes, and symmetrical and harmonious.
