A FINE CHINESE GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF A BODHISATTVA, TANG DYNASTY (AD 618-907)
The bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is shown standing in tribangha on a waisted double lotus base, holding a willow branch in the raised right hand and a kamandalu ('holy water' bottle) in the pendent left hand, and wearing bejewelled necklaces, a skirt folded over below the waist, and a long scarf wrapped around the shoulders and arms that trails down the sides of the body, as do the long ribbons that fall from a headdress centred by the figure of Amitabha Buddha. It's with a fitted Japanese wood box.
A smaller example (9.5cm high) without lotus base, see Sotheby's Hong Kong, 12 October 2021, lot 3518; other similar examples, see Christie's New York, 14 September 2017, lot 830 and same house, 18 March 2016, lot 1407.
