Large Gilt-Bronze Seated Bodhisattva. The figure majestically seated in ardhaparyankasana with the right leg resting on a lotus socle, the right hand raised in vitarka mudra, the face with eyes downcast to give a serene expression, the torso bare to reveal a torque suspending beaded jewelry chains radiating from a central floral bloom, the separately cast ungilt base modeled as jagged rockwork. {Height: 13 1/4 inches (33.7 cm)}. Property from a San Francisco Collection.
