Dule Temple Avalokitesvara Pavilion: Eleven-Headed Avalokitesvara (detail)
獨樂寺十一面觀音菩薩像
中國
位於天津市薊縣獨樂寺觀音閣，為中國現存體量最大、年代最早的泥塑觀音像。觀音閣通高23公尺，外觀二層，內為三層。由於觀音立像高大，內部中央三層貫通。
觀音立於蓮台上，左右二菩薩侍立。觀音頂上十面，分上下四層環列，下三層每層三面，共九面，最頂層為阿彌陀佛化像。觀音面容端嚴，豐頰秀目，眉間有白毫。左手下垂，右手屈肘當胸，伸掌屈無名指。身飾瓔珞寶珠，手佩腕釧，帔帛垂於胸前至腹間，成自然弧線。身體略向前傾，以便禮拜者從底層仰望。菩薩高大莊嚴，造型華美生動，為遼代（907～1125）彩塑的珍品。
