18th C. Japanese Gilt Wood Avalokiteshvara Figure

Item Details

Description

East Asia, Japan, Edo Period, ca. 18th to mid-19th century CE. This is a gorgeous wooden stature of Avalokitesvara, one of the most revered and celebrated bodhisattvas in Asia. Carved in the round and seated in full lotus position with multiple arms clasped in prayer, meditation, and outstretched forming mudra gestures - he exudes strength and tranquility. The surface is weathered with a dark patina, but remains of red and white pigments as well as glimmering gilt highlight his body. The verso of his spine has a large cavity opening for depositing slips of paper with prayers inside for devotional worship. He has the characteristically rounded face, serene downcast eyes, elongated ears, and a brimmed cap with a domed top. Avalokitesvara is a compassionate being with 108 avatars and many depictions throughout southeast and East Asia as both male or female as well as androgynous, as this iteration might be. An outstanding depiction with a wise and timeless presence that is perfect for display! Size: 10.75" L x 6.5" W x 11.5" H (27.3 cm x 16.5 cm x 29.2 cm)

Bodhisattvas are among the most compassionate beings in the universe, devoting themselves to saving the suffering and helping others achieve enlightenment and Buddhahood. Traditionally depicted as less austere than Buddhas with graceful postures and elegant garments, and this example even has remains of gilt. Bodhisattvas or Guanyin are associated with compassion and mercy - their long ears significant because they rescue all human beings by hearing their cries for help and the sounds of suffering.
