Bronze gilded statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva

[Bronze gilded Avalokitesvara seated statue]

The bronze gilded Avalokitesvara seated statue, Ming Xuande, is 26 cm high, 17.8 cm wide at the bottom and 12.6 cm thick at the bottom. The old collection of the Qing Palace
The sitting statue of Avalokitesvara has two arms on one side, wears an eight-leaf crown on the head, and a small statue of Amitabha Buddha is carved in front of a high bun, with hair buns, double pendulous ears, eyebrows and eyes, and is quiet and kind. The left hand holds the trunk with the chest, and the right hand holds the lotus stem to support it on the lotus base. Stretch your right leg, step on the lotus, curl your left leg, and relax your sitting posture. She is topless and hangs a necklace on her chest. The silk belt is wrapped around the arm from both shoulders and gently on the side of the body. The silk belt at the back of the shoulder hangs in an arc. A knot is tied in the middle of the neckline. The sculpture is vivid and realistic, which is different from the shawl style commonly used in the Yongle Xuande Buddha statue. The skirt is carved with fine and delicate lotus patterns, changing the usual way of pleating. This is a rare gorgeous style in Yongxuan Buddha. The front of the lotus seat is inscribed with the regular script of “Da Ming Xuan De Nian Shi” from left to right.
