South Xiangtangshan Grottoes: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
CHINA, Hebei, Handan; Northern Qi dynasty
This statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was originally from the South Xiangtangshan Grottoes. The crown contains an image of a standing Buddha. A long stole drapes over the arms and plaited locks of hair fall over the shoulders. The figure wears a richly jeweled necklace and a long beaded ornament that crosses the body and loops over the detailed folds of the lower garment. The left arm is broken short and the item which was once held in the right hand is now indistinguishable.
