A GILT-BRONZE MULTI- ARMED FIGURE OF AVALOKITESHVARA

17TH CENTURY

The multi-armed deity is cast seated in dhyanasana, the eighteen radiating arms carrying various ritual attributes including the conch shell, wheel, lotus bud, mala (prayer beads) and lasso, the principal arms held in uttarabodhi mudra. The figure wears a dhoti and a scarf draped over the shoulders, the hems incised with floral scrolls. The hair is upswept into a top knot beneath a foliate crown centred with Amitabha Buddha. The face has a serene expression with downcast eyes and the forehead is centred with an urna. The deity is supported on a four-tiered lotus base, the stem rising from a wave platform flanked by figures.

12 3/8 in. (31.5 cm.) high, overall
