Zhucheng: Standing Bodhisattva
CHINA, Shandong, Weifang; Northern Qi dynasty
The worn figure of the Bodhisattva stands on an inverted lotus pedestal. The body, nimbus and pedestal were created separately then assembled together, with the nimbus joined to the head by a mortise and tenon. A stole falls to the shoulders from either side of the headdress. The hands are in the abhaya (fearlessness) and varada (wish-granting) mudras. Long stoles fall down the body. A necklace of bells is worn around the neck, while a belt is knotted about the waist. The inner circle of the nimbus is formed by an openwork lotus with radiating rings. A ring of lotus petals forms the outer edges.
