Baixiang Pagoda: Standing Bodhisattva

This clay statue was discovered in Baixiang Pagoda in 1965. The Bodhisattva has jewels in the hair and a high topknot, a graceful face with wide eyes, a small nose, and narrow lips. Sloping shoulders are covered with stoles that are patterned with green intertwining branches outlined in gold. The Bodhisattva wears a necklace and bracelets and an inner upper robe, while the lower body is covered with a long dhoti. The slender figure stands on a lotus pedestal, with hands held in the anjali (reverence) mudra.
