Monumental "Bigger Than Life Size" Wooden Bodhisattva

About the Item

Imposing figure of Bodhisattva sitting in a royal pose with a beautiful serene expression, with semi close eyes expressing beatitude, in very well carved robes and pearl strings on the neck and knees. Traces of original polychrome paint and stucco over the wood, with normal stable cracks due to the age. A Bodhisattva is a person who has attained prajna, or Enlightenment, but who postpones Nirvana in order to help others to save lost and suffering souls.

  • Han Dynasty Horse and Rider TL Tested
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    Tombs of the Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) were typically furnished with model figures and other objects believed to be necessary for a safe journey to the afterlife. Historical records indicate that when important military officials died, the imperial Han court would give them elaborate funerals, including a full military cortege. It is likely that this figure of a horse and rider was originally part of a model funerary retinue comprised of soldiers and cavalrymen that would have been placed in such a tomb. Beautifully proportioned Han dynasty polychrome painted terracotta horse and rider. The warrior is decorated with a painted orange and black tunic. A quiver is visible attached to his back. He would have originally held a wooden bow in between his hands that has rotted away over the centuries. He is riding a beautifully sculpted white horse. TL tested...
