The Picture from Plaosan Temple in Java[edit]

It's a nice picture, but I wonder what basis there is for saying that it is a picture of Avalokiteshvara. The figure just doesn't have any distinguishing features that would identify it as Avalokiteshvara, as opposed to some other bodhisattva or holy person.
