Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva
CHINA; Northern Qi dynasty
The Bodhisattva stands with feet parallel on an inverted lotus pedestal. On the rounded face, the eyes are cast down compassionately and the mouth smiles serenely. The figure wears a close-fitting headdress and a stole that flows down the body from the shoulders and drapes over the elbows, from which the forearms are missing. Below the waist, the figure wears a long skirt and various intricate accessories. The style of the sculpture is reminiscent of the early Sui dynasty (581–618).
