Central Asia, Tibet, ca. 19th to 20th century CE. A delightful brass shrine figure of Shadakshari Lokeshvara is a 4-armed variant of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, who holds his inner hands to his chest in anjalimudra, the gesture of adoration. Seated in lotus position atop a double lotus throne, the deity wears a luxurious crown with outer hands holding attributes. Note the wooden base adorned with a lotus design in ink indicating the figure has been filled with sacred objects and sealed for worship. A lovely example! Size: 3.3" L x 4.1" W x 5.2" H (8.4 cm x 10.4 cm x 13.2 cm)
