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. China, 1675-1725 Provenance: Ex- Splendors of the World.
