A complex Chinese bronze representation of Guanyin in the Thousand-Armed form.

This iconography identifies the figure as Sahasrabhuja Avalokiteshvara, the esoteric form of the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

Guanyin, Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig is the bodhisattva of compassion. Crown, lotus, vase and hand gestures vary by region, but the subject consistently embodies attentive mercy and aid.
