Private Collection

Finely wrought bronze, well carved and cast, bright golden color with patina, depicting Avalokiteshvara seated in royal ease on a roaring one-horned chimera with curled tail and spiraling locks of fur; its body detailed with a pierced design resembling scales or feathers. The deity is depicted with five pointed crown, floating celestial scarves, jeweled earrings, necklace, armbands, bracelets, and anklets. He wears the skin of an antelope looped about his shoulders. Behind his head a golden beaded aureole intersects with the large mandorla carved with rotating conchs, symbolizing the glory of the teachings spreading to every corner of the world. Figure and mount sit atop a lotus throne with open petals.

Avalokiteshvara possesses boundless compassion and teaches that we already have everything we need to awaken to our own limitless compassion. He vows to save all sentient beings from the sufferings of samsara. His right hand is in vitarka mudra, the gesture of explication, his left holds the stem of a lotus. The Mind of Bliss is free from any samsaric stain, the way a lotus flower emerges from a swamp free of the stain of the mud.
