I SEE EVERYTHING

The Seven-Eyed “Kwanyon" exhibited at

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 "Kwangon" exhibited at Messrs. Komor & Komor's art gallery, corner of Ice House Street and Chater Road and Thibetian origin supposed to be of the Sung Dynasty A.D. 959-1273. 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 altitude of teaching denotes"

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-

ore who sees them. Ladies, especially, seem to be hynotised and come again and again to see them and, as they say, feel happy and con- tented after gazing at the Kwanyon.

It is said that Buddhistic figures influence certain persons and according to Chinese belief a Buddhistic figure which fascinates you is sure to bring luck, health, and happiness to you if you possess it and the great sage Mr. Komor tells some remarkable authentic stories of Buddhas which changed the life of many people through the influence of Buddhistic figures.

.

It may be the pleasing features or artistic attitude which suits the nerves and we would recommend you if you feel nervous or you are out of luck to go and see Messrs. Komor and Komor's well Imowa art gallery and find out what truth there is in this Oriental superstition.

Komór & Kontor's art gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 pm. one block from Hong Kong landing of the Kowloon ferry.
