In front of this figure’s high, rounded topknot is a small image of Amitabha Buddha, which identifies this as the bodhisattva of compassion Avalokiteśvara (C: Guanyin). The casual pose, with an upright right knee serving as an armrest, was popular in China. This sculpture has a finely chiseled face and body retaining traits of the earlier Tang dynasty style.
