Object Details

Catalogue Note

Dimensions: H 36.5 × W 24 cm
Weight: 5.5 kg
Material: Gilt bronze / copper alloy
Style: Sino-Tibetan
Period: Second half of the 20th century
Provenance: Taiwan collection, according to the current record

A richly modelled Avalokiteshvara seated in lalitasana, with Amitabha represented in the crown. The elaborate jewellery, lotus pedestal and warm gilt finish reproduce the visual language of earlier Sino-Tibetan Buddhist bronzes.

The closed base follows a Tibetan consecration format, but its contents have not been verified. The sculpture is presented transparently as a high-quality later work.

Condition

Good vintage condition with patina, gilt wear and minor surface variation.

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.

Condition and Display

Surviving gilding, darker recessed areas and wear on raised details create a layered surface. The 15 photographs document the remaining finish, patina, casting and base from multiple viewpoints.
