Zhenguo Temple Ten Thousand Buddha Hall: Standing Bodhisattvas
CHINA, Shanxi, Jinzhong; Northern Han Kingdom
The two Bodhisattvas are located next to the seated Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Kings. The statues have each lost one hand, and the offering is missing from the elegantly poised hands that remain. Both Bodhisattvas have long hair bound into topknots, with stray locks scattered over their shoulders. They wear similar beaded necklaces but their stoles are worn differently, one being knotted about the shoulders and the other hanging diagonally across the chest. The skirt is worn low over the hips, exposing the stomach. Both statues have one foot slightly advanced from the other so that the bodies and heads lean to one side, in a slight tribhanga posture.
