在宾博佛教厅中央，站立着一尊辽代白衣观音鎏金铜像。头戴华冠，身着长袍，左手捧一莲蕾于胸前，右手竖起，有两指略弯（图4）。胸部以上部分鎏金保存完好，色泽金黄如新；胸部以下部分鎏金大多脱落，颜色暗淡。像高70厘米，如此体量的辽代鎏金白衣观音像是较为少见的。据1921年11月古董商卢芹斋在信中说：这尊青铜鎏金像是1918年由车先生在爱跑（音译）村附近的一条河里发现的，该村位于满洲辽阳南部的木克墩（音译）郊外（Marilyn Gridley,A Whiterobed Guanying as the Embodiment of a Liao Ideal, Orientations, vol.32, no.2,February 2000)。

Gilt bronze statuette of Guanyin. Tall graceful figure standing holding lotus bud in hands. Over the forehead at the base of the high crown headdress is a tiny figure of the Amida Buddha. When acquired, the statue was covered with a thick emerald green patina except for the hands, face and throat which retained their smooth gilding; there were traces of gold on the garments. The statue has since been cleaned. Found in a river near the Aipao village which was the ancient seat of the Jianning Monastery; the village is a suburb of Liaoyang, south of Shenyang in Liaoning Province.
