Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara
Nepalese (?) (Artist)
Tibetan (?) (Artist)
ca. 1300
gilded bronze with paint

The lavishly ornamented bodhisattva with four arms represents the form of Avalokiteshvara that is the personification of the deity's mantra of six syllables (“shadakshari”): om-ma-ni-pad-me-hum. Seated in the classic meditation posture on a high lotus base, his principle hands form the salutation gesture. The second left hand holds the ubiquitous lotus, but the other emblem, the rosary, is missing from the second right hand.

Provenance
John and Berthe Ford, Baltimore; given to Walters Art Museum, 2002.
