Description

Tibetan Bodhisattva of Compassion (Avalokiteshvara), statue made of brass alloy with copper and tin inlay, colored wax, traces of gilding, and applied pigment. Made in West Tibet, Ngari, from the Guge Kingdom, dated between 1000 and 1050 AD. This sculpture was made shortly after the Buddhist leader Yeshe Ö (947-1024 AD) had invited scholars and artists from Central Asian Kashmir to revitalize Buddhism in the Guge Kingdom of Western Tibet.
