- Tibetan Buddhist Deity Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Cast Bronze SculptureLocated in North Hollywood, CAA metal cast bronze finish on brass in beautiful posture figure of Tibetan Buddhist Padmapani Deity Avalokiteshvara Beautiful Asian sculpture after the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Padmapani, bearer of the lotus) Dimensions: Height : 8.5 inches Width : 4 inches Depth : 2.75.inches. Asia, Nepal circa 1950's. "The bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is the Buddhist embodiment of compassion. He is often portrayed as an elegant and gracious youth. The cult of Avalokiteshvara worship originated in India and spread across Asia, along with other Buddhist philosophies and practices. In some places Avalokiteshvara eclipses the Buddha in importance.

- Over Life-Size Tibetan Gilt Bronze Arm of a Bodhisattva, Late 19th CenturyLocated in Austin, TXAn impressive larger than life-size cast and gilt bronze left hand and arm of a bodhisattva, late 19th century or earlier, Tibet. The over-sized arm and hand of graceful proportions. The arm tapering down to a slender wrist embellished with a simple bracelet hiding the join between the hand and arm. The hand and arm richly gilt. The join to the elbow visible and exposed. The hand heavily cast, with nice detail to the fingernails and cuticles. The palm with simple incised lines. The hand, with the pointer and pinky fingers raised, and the middle and ring finger folded down touching the thumb, performs the gesture known as karana mudra, the gesture of dispelling evil. (Here in Texas we refer to this gesture as "Hook'em Horns!") Karana mudra is often associated with Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, known in Tibet as Chenrezig, and in China as Guanyin. The hand and arm would originally have been part of a much larger sculpture. Unfortunately many Tibetan Buddhist sculptures...Category

- Bronze and Gilt Tibetan Shrine Temple Sculpture of Deity Bodhisattva White TaraLocated in Studio City, CAThis is a fantastic piece. Perhaps part of a Tibetan temple shrine at one time.

We are listing as 20th century but could be older. Nice size and weight. Would be a great addition to any collection and sure to stand out in any setting. From a large collection of Chinese and Tibetan antiques...Category
