Ancient Bronze Avalokiteshvara with Eleven Heads
This antique bronze statue depicts Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion and protection. The eleven heads refer to the ability to see and respond to the suffering of all living beings. As a result, this is a powerful representation within Buddhism, beloved by collectors and people seeking a statue with deep spiritual significance. The statue has a dark, highly developed patina with traces of reddish-brown and greenish oxidation. These cuprite- and malachite-like discolorations give the surface a great deal of character and reinforce the impression of age and prolonged weathering. The multi-headed structure, the slender body, and the fine details in the crown, jewelry, and robe make this an expressive and special object. Remnants of older gilding are still visible in places and give the statue extra depth. Avalokiteshvara symbolizes compassion, protection, wisdom, and inner peace. Due to its compact yet powerful size, this statue is suitable for an altar, meditation spot, display cabinet, or collection of Buddhist art.
