A SMALL GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF GUANYIN

TANG DYNASTY (AD 618-907)

The bodhisattva stands on a double-lotus base with hips swayed, holding a water vessel in the left hand and a willow branch in the right, and backed by a separately cast aureole. He is clad in an ankle-length dhoti and adorned with jewelry and flowing sashes. The face is serene in expression, with downcast eyes, and the hair is tied in a chignon with locks cascading over the shoulders.

5 1⁄2 in. high, cloth box, padauk base
