Hmawza: Four-Armed Avalokitesvara
Copper alloy
四臂觀音菩薩像
緬甸勃固省卑謬縣摩薩出土
緬甸勃固省摩薩（Hmawza, Bago）包包枝塔（Bawbawgyi Pagoda）附近出土。該尊像推測應為四臂觀音，略有缺損，體態輕盈，呈「S」形立姿。髮髻高聳，上有化佛。臉龐呈鵝卵形，雙眉相連若弓，慈目垂視。頭部、身軀及手臂均佩戴瓔珞、環釧、花鬘等飾物。
左臂殘缺，僅存右側兩臂，皆握有器物。袒上身，斜披絡腋。腰身纖長，環繞數圈腰帶，中間以花紋裝飾。下裳薄衣貼體，臀部斜披一帶，於身側下垂並佩有一巨型花朵。除觀音菩薩像外，當地亦有出土彌勒菩薩像，反映大乘佛教曾於此南傳佛教區域流傳。
