The Seven-Eyed Kkanyon exhibited at
MESSRS. KOMOR & KOMOR
The Sculptor of China is the oldest art we know and lately figures and animals have been found which are so perfect, in de- sign and life like attitude that they well compare with the best period of Greece. There is a pair of "Kwanyon" exhibited at Messrs. Komor & Komor's art gallery corner of Ice House Street and Chater Road of Thibetian origin supposed to be of the Sung Dynasty A.D. 959-1278. They are 4 feet high and wonderfully pre- served the right hand to right knee suggests "I swear by the earth" "The left hand with the eye upwards in attitude of teaching de- notes."
I see everything, I see everything,
I promise! I warn! I give you all
but
Keep to my instructions.
It is remarkable what influence these figures have on every- one who seen them especially ladies seem to be hypnotised and come again and again to see them and as they say feel happy and con- tented after gazing at the Kwanyon.
