This statue of Avalokiteshwara in gilded copper from Nepal depicts the Bodhisattva as a cosmic pillar perched on a throne, surrounded by a stunning aureole. With a thousand arms and eleven heads, he is holding the wish-fulfilling diamond, or Chintamani, in his main hands. Avalokiteshwara's serene countenance, exquisite details, and intricate work on his draperies and embellishments all combine to create an air of heavenly beauty. A rare expression of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara’s cosmic compassion, this statue is also an example of the astute artistry of Nepalese sculptors.
