Crafted in gilt-bronze by the Chinese School, this exquisite sculpture stands at a height of 10.8 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The figure exudes grace and elegance, with its body slightly swaying as if caught in a gentle breeze. The right hand rests delicately on the chest, while the left hand reaches downwards, holding a lotus stem adorned with flowers at each shoulder. The intricate details of this piece are truly remarkable. Perched on a separately cast lotus petal pedestal, this bodhisattva emanates an aura of serenity and spirituality. Its ornate design reflects the rich artistic traditions of East Asia and exemplifies the beauty found within Buddhist art.
