專家說明

The bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is the patron deity of Tibet, embodying the compassion of all the buddhas of the ten directions and three times. In the standing form with eleven faces he is closely associated with Lakshmi. This example has a superior composition based on very good proportions, making it one of the best examples of all of the various eleven-faced sculpture in museum and private collections worldwide. The faces are particularly attractive, and the incision work representing the silk garments on the lower torso is very finely rendered.
