18/19th Century Bodhisattva
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.

- 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
