Guanyin is the name of the Bodhisattva of Mercy. According to tradition, a person in peril only had to recite Guanyin‘s name for the Bodhisattva to come to the aid of the sincere believer. The Guanyin cult was understandably popular. The body of this bowl is decorated with the image of Guanyin on one side; the other side has 112 characters of the Guanyin Sutra in regular script. The inscription indicates that this bowl was produced in 1616.
