Title: Impressive Bronze Temple Statue – Thousand-Armed Guanyin (114 cm / 46 kg)
Description
Offered for sale: a monumental and extremely detailed bronze statue of Sahasrabhuja Avalokiteshvara, better known in the West as the Thousand-Armed Guanyin (the Bodhisattva of immeasurable compassion).
This imposing piece has a height of no less than 114 cm and a solid weight of 46 kg, indicating a high-quality, thick-walled bronze casting. The statue is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a powerful symbol of protection and peace.
Iconography & Details
Design: The central figure stands in a serene posture with the heads and hands in the Anjali Mudra (prayer posture). The remaining arms fan out in a magnificent halo effect, each adorned with specific ritual attributes.
The Dragon: At the foot of the statue sits a powerfully shaped dragon. In Eastern tradition, this symbolizes Guanyin's dominion over the elements and her ability to overcome fears.
Finish: The bronze displays a beautiful, natural patina with subtle discoloration over time, giving the statue an authentic and weathered appearance. The details in the crown (featuring the likeness of Amitabha Buddha) and the finely crafted robes bear witness to high-quality craftsmanship.
