十八至十九世紀越南大型鎏金漆觀音木像
Sold for €4,160
including Buyer's Premium
The Bodhisattva depicted seated in padmasana on a lotus base, his primary hands in a tantric mudra, a further set of hands resting in his lap, while the other arms radiate around him, holding auspicious symbols, dressed in long flowing robes, adorned with jewelry, the face with a serene expression, heavy-lidded eyes, and full lips, flanked by elongated earlobes, the head surmounted by a tall crown.
Provenance: From a private estate in Nice, France.

Although many Buddhists in mainland Southeast Asia are practitioners of Theravada Buddhism, this sculpture represents Vietnam’s vassalage under the Chinese, who largely introduced Mahayana Buddhism to the country. Among the most important Buddhist deities in the Mahayana pantheon is the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara.
