A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF AVALOKITESHVARA
LATE MING DYNASTY, 16TH CENTURY
Cast seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base, the figure is dressed in loose, flowing robes and elaborate beaded jewelry. The hands are held in vitarka mudra, each holding a leafy stem rising to the shoulders and surmounted by a bird on one side and a vase on the other. The face has a serene expression, and the hair is fashioned into a chignon centered by a figure of Amitabha Buddha behind an elaborate crown. There are traces of gilding and red lacquer.
