EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite wooden sculpture depicts Phagpa Lokeshvara, a form of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, revered in Tibetan Buddhism for his compassion and ability to hear the cries of the suffering. The statue dates back to the 13th-14th century and is a copy of the original housed in the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. The intricately carved woodwork showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the artist, with delicate floral and geometric patterns adorning the figure's robes and the base. The statue is further enhanced by the application of gold and paint, adding depth and vibrancy to the piece. Phagpa Lokeshvara is depicted in the traditional seated position with his right hand in the gesture of giving and his left hand in the gesture of receiving, symbolizing his readiness to give and receive the teachings of Buddha. His serene expression and gentle gaze convey a sense of peace and tranquility, making this sculpture a powerful representation of the compassionate nature of Avalokiteshvara. This sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Tibet and the enduring influence of Buddhism on the region's culture. It is a rare and precious example of the intricate woodcarving techniques that were used during the 13th and 14th centuries in Tibet. The statue is now part of the South Asian collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
