Eleven Headed Avalokitesvara

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts the Eleven Headed Avalokitesvara, a bronze sculpture with a predominantly gold color and reddish accents. The statue features a central figure with multiple heads stacked vertically on top of each other, with the largest head at the bottom and smaller ones above, culminating in a pointed top section. The central figure stands on a wooden base and has four arms, with two in front positioned in prayer-like gestures and two on the sides stretched out to the sides. The figure wears a long garment that falls to the ankles, with a distinctive red and gold section around the waist. The background transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
