Bronze, vergoldet, teilweise Applikationen aus kleinen Türkisperlen. Vollplastische Darstellung einer "Tausendarmigen Bodhisattva", auf doppeltem Lotussockel stehend. Der Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara ist der Schutzpatron Tibets, die Verkörperung von Güte und Barmherzigkeit, geistiger Sohn des Dhyânis Buddha Amitâbha. Die elf Gesichter trägt Avalokiteshvara auf seinem Kopf in Form einer Krone aus neun Bodhisattva-Köpfen und einem Buddha-Kopf; letzterer ist der Kopf des Buddha Amitabha. Je drei der Bodhisattva-Köpfe verkörpern Erbarmen mit den Leidenden, Zorn über das Böse und Freude über das Gute. Die Tausend Hände mit den Augen in den Handflächen dienen dazu, allen Wesen zu helfen. Höhe 36,5 cm.
