A gilt-bronze figure of a Boddhisattva, Ming dynasty (1638-1644).

The avalokiteshvara sits in dhyanasana with the hands clasped in a form of vajramudra. He is clad in voluminous robes with hems elegantly incised with a foliate pattern. The face is serene in expression and surmounted by a tiara with diminutive Buddha images. Around the back there is 18 arms, some still holding attributes. Height 17,5 cm.

Wear, two arms missing, attributes missing, wear. Traces of colour pigment.

Provenance

From an esteemed Finnish collector and mecenat of the Arts, the major part of the collection was brought together during 1920-1960, thence by descent.
