Catalogue Note

A compact Thai bronze image of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, shown crowned and seated on a lotus pedestal. The two raised hands make ritual gestures associated with protection and blessing, while the lower hands are held together in a meditative position at the lap.

The dark bronze surface shows natural wear across the crown, face, arms and lotus petals. The open underside reveals the rough interior of the hollow casting.

Iconography and Context

Guanyin, Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig is the bodhisattva of compassion. Crown, lotus, vase and hand gestures vary by region, but the subject consistently embodies attentive mercy and aid.

The bronze surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 9 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
