Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara statue depicts a male figure with a serene expression. The figure has a greenish-brown patina and stands on a small rectangular base. He wears a short, pleated skirt secured by a sash tied around his waist. His chest is bare. The figure's hair is styled in a tall, elaborate coiffure. Two long locks frame his face. His hands are positioned in front of him, with palms facing upwards and downwards. The figure's feet are bare and have detailed toes. The background transitions from dark grey at the top to light grey at the bottom.
