Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Copper alloy
觀音菩薩像
尼泊爾
菩薩頭冠正中刻一圓形花朵，髮際飾聯珠紋，梳高髻，髻頂有蓮蕾形裝飾。眉間白毫呈一長方形空穴，原本所鑲寶石已遺失，頭冠及耳飾亦似原鑲有寶石。薄衣貼體，胸飾項鍊，身披聖線。雙手結印，右臂貼近臀部，手掌略顯僵硬地轉向身體，花莖繞左臂於肩處綻放出盛開的蓮花。股間裙襬顯得生硬，兩側下襬分三層向外展。蓮花台座及頭光已佚失。
此像身體比例與尼泊爾同時期常見的纖瘦型菩薩像相較，胸部及四肢均顯得壯碩，臀部也較寬大，因而被推測或為旅居西藏的尼瓦爾人（Newar）作品。整體造像體格鮮明，展現出異於尼泊爾典型的風格，顯得較為特殊。
