About the Item

Bodhisattva, a religious sculpture, probably made in India 1750-1850. The sculpture has been painted and gilded, but with very little remains. Bodhisattva, in Buddhism, is one who seeks awakening, an individual on the path to becoming a Buddha. Bodhisattvas are common figures in Buddhist literature and art. A striking theme is the concealed greatness of the Bodhisattvas. In numerous stories ordinary or even distinctly humble individuals are revealed to be great Bodhisattvas, who have assumed common forms to save others.
