The last dynasty of China was the Qing dynasty, which ruled from 1644 to 1911. During the Qing period, Chinese Buddhism was much influenced by Tibetan practices. Here the Bodhisattva Guanyin is shown in Tibetan style. He presses two hands together in the hezhangyin (anjalimudra) position, a gesture of salutation. His other two hands hold prayer beads and a lotus.
