Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Dry lacquer
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
CHINA; Qing dynasty
This statue was produced using the hollow dry lacquer technique and gilding. Avalokitesvara wears a high topknot and the eyes are lowered in a serene expression. The figure stands barefoot on a lotus, the slender body decorated with ornaments and the robe fluttering gently in an imaginary breeze. It is known that the figure was made by Shen Shao’an from an inscription on the body.
